    How (and why) to hire for fit
    Paige Magarrey, Workopolis
    For many businesses, hiring for fit is fast becoming more important than hiring for skill. According to a recent survey, 43 per cent of HR professionals say that cultural fit is the single most important factor when making a hire – though  another recent survey found that 62 per cent of professionals say that finding that cultural fit is difficult.

    One example of a business that is successfully putting cultural fit at the core of their hiring process is Mabel’s Labels, a Hamilton, Ontario-based business that sells durable labels for kid’s clothing. It was the first Canadian company to formally adopt a Results Only Work Environment (ROWE), where its 45 employees can work from anywhere, anytime, no nine-to-five required.

    With this unique strategy in place, finding employees that fit into their unique culture is crucial for success. “We can train people to do a lot of the work but we can’t train for culture fit,” says Julie Cole, Mabel’s vice president and co-founder.

    Wondering how you can do the same? Read the full article here: How (and why) to hire for fit.
