Abstract
This study explores the role of organizational culture in shaping hiring processes in organizations. Open-ended and semi-structured interviews were conducted on a sample of 20 participants from Banking and Financial Services Industries and thematic analysis was done to identify and develop codes, categories, and themes. The study found the respondents as: active endorsers of culture fitment hiring focusing more on the social attributes of the candidate, passive endorsers of culture fitment hiring focusing more on the candidate’s personal attributes and those who were apathetic to the concept. The study suggests that prioritizing social attributes of the candidate during culture fitment hiring processes could substantially reduce the occurrence of biases in the hiring process.
