Company Culture

How important is company culture to you? 

Company culture is crucial in recruitment and retention, reflecting an organisation's values, behaviours, and vision. Here’s how it affects hiring and how we, as recruiters, can assess and secure the right match for our candidates:

Impact on recruitment and retention:
• Attracts Talent: A positive culture draws individuals who align with the company's values.
• Reduces Turnover: Employees who fit well within the culture are more likely to stay.
• Enhances Brand: Companies known for great culture are more appealing to job seekers.
• Boosts Satisfaction and Productivity: A healthy culture increases job satisfaction and higher performance.

How we evaluate company culture fit and the tips we provide to our candidates:
• Research: Check the company’s website, social media, and employee review sites.
• Interview Questions: Ask about team dynamics, management styles, and work-life balance.
• Observe the Environment: If possible, visit the office to see employee interactions.
• Talk to Employees: Reach out to current or former employees for insights.
• Review Content: Look at the company’s social media and blog.

A strong company culture is vital for attracting and retaining top talent.

Candidates should thoroughly assess culture during the hiring process to ensure a good fit, while employers should communicate and nurture their culture to appeal to potential hires.
