Identifying Competencies and Culture Fit
Beyond skills — hiring for values and behaviors
Competencies describe how someone works, not just what they achieve. Paired with culture fit, they help ensure long-term success.
Examples of competencies:
-
Analytical
-
Proactive
-
Collaborative
-
Results-driven
Examples of culture fit factors:
-
Engineering-centric
-
Fast-paced environment
-
Fact-driven decision-making
Why this matters:
Skills alone don’t predict success. Competencies and cultural alignment ensure that a new hire can thrive in your specific work environment.
