Our Findings:The Culture Fit Gap Is Wider Than You Think
We surveyed 100 HR professionals in partnership with Hacking HR, spanning healthcare, technology, and professional services, on how their teams define, assess, and act on culture fit throughout the hiring process. Here's what we found:

52%
Rely on unstructured interviews to evaluate cultural alignment. No framework, no behavioral scoring, just gut instinct.
85%
Of hiring managers receive no training on how to interpret behavioral assessment results.
