Culture Fit Is Everything: How Creative Leaders & Job Seekers Can Align for Success
Creative Leaders & Hiring Managers: Time to Stop Copy-Paste Culture
You want the perfect culture fit? It all starts with your job description. So, no more copy-pasting old JDs.
A job description isn’t just a list of tasks—it’s branding for your team and company. If you’re not intentional, you’ll end up with misaligned candidates who don't fit your culture or the current market.
Here’s how to align your next hire with your culture:
Core Competencies: List the skills and duties that will define success in the role.
Cultural Fit: Outline the attributes a candidate needs to thrive in your company culture.
Stack Rank It: Run your list through a stack rank exercise with your team or recruiter to ensure alignment.
Recruiter Check: Consult a seasoned recruiter to ensure your wishlist matches the available talent pool.
Edit & Publish: Tweak based on feedback, then repeat steps 1–4.

Job Seekers & Career Dreamers: Stack Rank or Bust
If you're applying to any job that "seems like a fit" without a Stack Rank List, you're wasting time.
Not only that, but each time you hit "like," tag yourself, or slide into DMs without doing the work—you’re wrecking your Personal Brand. 😬
How to Create Your Stack Rank List:
Wish List: Write down 15 things you want in your next role.
Non-Negotiables: Star the must-haves.
Nice-to-Haves: Mark the rest with a +.
Edit & Organize: Re-read, tweak, and reorganize.
Test It: Run it by a trusted friend or partner.
Read Daily: Keep it front and center in your job search.
Before you apply for a job, hold that role up against your Stack Rank List. Does it check off at least 70% of your list? If not, move on.
💡 Pro Tip: Aligning on culture fit starts with you. Your Stack Rank List is your roadmap—use it to target roles that align with your goals and values.
