The article is great but the statement that most folks feel cultural fit is about "hiring people you'd want to have a beer with" doesn't resonate with what I have experienced. Is that how "most people" define "culture fit" in your experience?
For example, we do hire for culture fit, but we define culture fit along vectors such as:
+ How do you attack problems
+ How do you communicate and collaborate
+ How do you deal with rainy day scenarios
+ How do you learn and grow
+ How do you teach and mentor
+ What do you need (and not need) from your teammates
+ What type of work enviro do you thrive in
