Cultural Fit
Noun · Hacker Culture
Definitions
The degree to which a person seems compatible with a team's norms, working style, and values. In hiring culture the phrase is controversial because it can either reflect healthy alignment or become a vague excuse for bias and sameness.
In plain English: How well someone seems to match a team's culture and way of working.
Example: "The interviewer pushed back on using cultural fit too loosely because the team needed people who could challenge habits, not just mirror them."
