Hiring the wrong person can have negative effects throughout an organization. Outside the creation of a void in job responsibilities, it can stretch the remaining employees to their max, curtail productivity, and be very costly. So what can you do to make sure you have the best fit?

It may seem simple, but it helps to know the culture of your company or department. If you understand it and can share that effectively with the candidate, you will be able to get the “buy-in” from the candidate and have a new employee who will mesh well from day one.
