"I have to say using Aaron Wallis Recruitment has been nothing but an absolute pleasure. I've used many agencies over the years as the client and the candidate and its not always been a pleasurable experience! My consultant George Humphries has been an absolute star"

What is a ‘Cultural Fit’ Interview?
Cultural fit interviews are designed to assess whether an individual’s values, beliefs, and behaviours align with the organisation’s.
Employers often use Cultural Interview Questions to ensure that new hires can thrive in the company’s unique culture and work effectively with their colleagues.
Some examples of cultural fit interview questions might include:
Can you describe your personal values and how they align with the values of our organisation?
How do you prefer to work and collaborate with others?
-
- Do you prefer to work as an individual or as part of a team?
- If your opinion differed to that of another member of your team, what would you do?
- How do you handle conflict or differences of opinion within a team?
Can you describe when you had to adapt to a new work environment or culture?
-
- How did you approach this transition
- What did you learn from the experience?
- How well do you feel that you adapted?
How do you handle feedback and criticism?
-
- How do you seek out opportunities for personal and professional development?
Can you describe a time when you had to go above expectations to achieve a goal or complete a task?
-
- What motivated you to do this?
- What was the outcome?
How do you define success in your work and career?
-
- How do you measure your progress towards these goals?
- How do you define ‘success’ in life in general?
- What is more important ‘job satisfaction’ or ‘pay’ and why?
Can you provide examples of how you have contributed to the success of a team or project in the past?
-
- How do you approach teamwork and collaboration?
- How do you work with people that you don’t like, or perhaps have a radically different opinion.
How do you balance your personal and professional commitments?
-
- How do you prioritise your time and responsibilities?
Can you describe a time when you faced a challenge or obstacle in your work?
-
- How did you overcome this?
Is the right culture important to you at work?
-
- What would be your perfect team culture?
We hope these questions help to determine better whether a candidate can thrive in your company’s unique corporate culture.
