Quick answer

Turns 'do we click' into a defensible record: interviewers score the team's defined working-style dimensions with evidence required per score, and alignment and friction points land on one page.

About this template

'Culture fit' becomes bias the moment it means 'someone I would have a beer with'. This assessment defines culture as concrete working-style dimensions the team has agreed on beforehand; interviewers score each dimension with evidence from the interview, and the AI report shows alignment and friction points per candidate — so the debrief is about specific working styles, not vibes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is culture fit assessment biased?
It can be — which is why this template defines working-style dimensions up front and requires evidence. Fit is judged against stated behaviors, never similarity to the interviewers.
What dimensions should we use?
Choose axes your daily work actually depends on: autonomy, feedback style, collaboration pace, customer orientation and decision speed are a common start.
Who scores, and when?
Every interviewer scores independently right after their round, before any group discussion.
Does it generate a report?
Yes — an AI summary of alignment and friction points per candidate, printable for the debrief.
Is it free?
Yes. Copy the template into your FormLM workspace and edit the dimensions to your team.
Any legal caution?
Keep dimensions job-related; employment rules vary by region, so review your criteria with counsel.
