Culture matters more than anything. That's why one of our commitments to candidates is that we only place people at companies where we’d want to work ourselves.
I hate my job and would do anything to get out of here. That's what a candidate shared with me during an interview yesterday. It was bold, raw, and far too common. Most executives we meet who are looking for new roles aren't just seeking a pay raise or larger bonus. They're desperately searching for a healthier culture. Leaders, pay attention: Culture is the real reason your best people are leaving. And your culture is a combination of what you create and what you tolerate. Ask yourself: - How am I shaping our culture? - What negative behaviors am I allowing? Be honest. Then take immediate action. Even small changes can make a big difference. Your top talent is seeking better environments. Don’t let them slip away. Job seekers, this is your chance. You're interviewing your new employer as much as they are you. - Ask about company culture during interviews - Be mindful of how they treat you now - Check employee reviews - Watch team dynamics - Trust your gut You deserve to be in a healthy culture. Don’t settle for less.
