Culture Fit

A hiring panel is debriefing after interviewing a highly qualified candidate named Tenzin, who moved to the country five years ago. A senior manager says, "His resume is great, but I’m worried about 'culture fit.' His accent is quite thick, and I just feel like our clients might find it hard to connect with him. Let's keep looking." The rest of the panel nods in vague agreement or stays silent, preparing to move to the next candidate.
