"Hiring for culture fit" always leads to a detrimental company culture overall. I mean, how many truly different people can you attract to a programming, marketing or management-level position at a tech company. Most job seekers in tech have the same core composition, so hiring on the basis of personality differences is moot.
> When hiring, this means tossing out the whole “do I want to hang out with them?” question. Instead, I’ve tried to replace that with more specific, more culture-agnostic questions.
You've got the point here! The only way to cultivate good culture is to dial back to job-related questions.
