This will allow an effective pre-screening round in which we’ll narrow the candidate pool to only those who are ready for further consideration. These factors are categorized across three key areas:

• Job fit – candidates need to possess not only the right skill sets and experience to do the job, but also a genuine interest in performing its required tasks.
• Boss fit – candidates must be a good match for their direct managers in terms of personality traits, values and expectations.
• Company fit – individuals must be motivated by the working environment offered by your company and demonstrate the ability to work well with other members of your team.
