We're focused on early-stage startup jobs, so they're mainly sales & engineering roles. For them, it's really important to find a culture fit, because the environment they operate in is unstable and chaotic. So, their employees need some soft skills (combined with hard ones) to succeed in their roles

> sales & engineering roles

In the other comment you said sales & marketing roles.

You just saw a candidate's video. How do you "find a culture fit"? What do you look for?

We recommend employers to ask 3 basic questions: 1. Tell us about your (professional) experience 2. Tell us about your education 3. Why do you think you'd be a good fit with our company

Candidates usually have about a minute to answer each question, each one is answered in a different video. Everything is customizable by the employer.

So, question 3 is about culture fit

What do you look for in the answer for 3 to see if it's a good culture fit?
