Companies need to have rules—that’s a given—but they don’t have to be shortsighted at creating an order.

7 Interview Questions To Assess A Cultural Fit.
A few years ago, my client interviewed a candidate for an engineering position. The candidate passed all their technical interview questions with flying colors. As a result, he was hired.
