How the candidate answers them can help reveal whether they reflect a hiring company's values and if they are in it for the long haul. The questions are centered around three themes, evaluating culture fit, uncovering aspirations, and retaining top talent. The article also includes Hall's thoughts on how important it is for companies to develop a diversity recruiting strategy and to consider \u201cculture add\u201d as opposed to \u201cculture fit\u201d when making new hires. In addition, the importance of providing employees with growth and learning opportunities as part of a company's retention efforts is discussed. According to Hall, \u201cby taking a whole-person interview approach that addresses company culture, growth potential, and employee needs and aspirations, you can ensure that the talent you hire will flourish.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With talented candidates still in the driver's seat, companies need to stand
