– A structured, values-based interview process can deliver quality candidates while reducing unconscious bias.
By The Editors
Making great hires is about recognizing great fit. Most companies aren’t just looking for candidates with the right skills; they want someone who aligns with their culture. In fact, according to a report by West Monroe Partners, 60 percent of organizations integrate a cultural fit evaluation or behavioral interview into their hiring process.

- Editor’s Note: Off and Running
– By Debbie Bolla
How prepared do employees feel on their first day at a new company? Probably not very, considering that Sapling HR finds that new hires face more than 50 activities they have to complete during onboarding.
