> Culture fit is the glue that holds an organization together. That’s why it’s a key trait to look for when recruiting. Video resumes help you understand candidate's character and provide you information about their culture.

There's a reason why hiring for culture fit is a bad thing, not a value proposition.

Let's say that you hire the candidates with the best hard skills. If they don't fit your culture, they will be a threat for your company in the long run. Their values and behaviour can be as important as their skills. That's why you need to look for culture fit
