Skills can often be taught, but values and work ethic are harder to change. I think that’s why many lean towards cultural fit for long-term hires.

Both have their place. Skill-based hiring ensures immediate job competency, while cultural fit fosters long-term engagement and team cohesion. A mix often works best, depending on the role and company needs.
