Hiring for culture fit has traditionally been a challenge for businesses striving to build cohesive and diverse teams.

This difficulty stems from the absence of a consistently accurate model for defining culture and what creates belonging.

The Culture Compatibility Test changes the game by offering a simple, objective way to define and identify your company’s culture—and seamlessly evaluate candidates for compatibility without demographic bias.

What is Culture?

Culture is NOT:

  • Your Values

  • Your Mission

  • Giving Program

    Perks/Benefits

Culture is about belonging.

At its core, culture functions as a Knowledge Filter, helping people track the unspoken rules of engagement: how to act, what earns respect, and how to fit in.

But every culture defines success and failure differently. In one, challenging ideas means you’re bold; in another, it means you’re insubordinate. These hidden differences explain why so many hires fail—not because they lack skill, but because what comes naturally to them is incompatible with the culture they’re in.

The Culture Compatibility Test surfaces these rules and makes belonging measurable and predictable. When leaders map their culture they can hire with confidence, onboard with clarity, and retain talent by creating environments people won’t want to leave.

The result? Healthier workplaces, stronger performance, and measurable savings in turnover and lost productivity.

culture

is

layered

Culture operates on multiple layers, all shaped by these Knowledge Filters:

  • Individual: Each person brings their own filter, shaped by experience and style.

  • Team: Groups form shared shortcuts for “how to get things done together.”

  • Organization: The overarching filter defines the broader rules of belonging.

When these layers align, culture feels effortless. When they clash, you get conflict, turnover, and disengagement.

How Culture Works:

  • Culture starts at the top.

  • Each leader has their own knowledge filter.

  • The knowledge filter of the leader defines the culture of the team.

  • Cultures nest within each other like Russian nesting dolls

  • That’s why two teams can have wildly different cultures in the same organization

  • And why the culture of the entire organization changes with a new CEO

Culture Mapping

A culture map is more than a tool—it’s a way of building workplaces people truly love. Mapping your culture allows you to curate teams built on belonging that lasts.

  • Hire for belonging, ensuring candidates feel at home from day one.

  • Onboard with transparency, removing the guesswork about “how things really work here.”

  • Retain with intention, creating teams built to last in an environment where they’re understood and valued.

Curating for compatibility doesn’t just create a healthier workplace with higher performance - it can save you millions by preventing bad hires and reducing churn.
