From an employer's perspective. Technical vs cultural fit - is one more important that the other?

Great insights! More often than not, skills and competencies can be enhanced in the workplace through sound training and development programs. Whereas "cultural fit" such as values, personality and the ability to get along with others are difficult to teach but critical for establishing a cohesive and cooperative work environment. At the end of the day, if you encounter a candidate that has the technical competency required for the role but does not appear to be a cultural fit, test their willingness and ability to embrace the culture through behavioral interviews or pre-interview socials and hopefully you should have your answer.
