Should I Hire For Culture Fit or Culture Add? (Ask Tigerhall)

Where in the past organizations have been hiring people for culture fit, individuals have pushed back, positing that this leads to a lack of diversity – you end up hiring more people who think the same way. In response, some organizations are looking at hiring for culture add – people who add to existing culture with their unique ways of thinking. This member of the Tigerhall community wonders how they should think through this debate, and Donald Knight weighs in.
