“Would we want to grab a beer with this candidate?”

That’s not culture fit. That’s likability.
But here’s the problem:

You don’t need to laugh your brains out with every coworker.

You don’t need to find everyone interesting.

You just need enough respect and communication to work together.

The more we judge people by chemistry, the more we hire people just like us.
And the more we shrink diversity of thought, personality, and skills.

Hiring shouldn’t be about who you’d drink with.

It should be about who can do the job.

And who will make your team stronger.

At Informed Decisions, we replace “beer tests” with skills-based, data-driven interviewing.

Because your best hire might be the one you wouldn’t invite for a drink.

Curious to hear your experience with the beer test.
