Introduction

Cultural fit is more than a buzzword—especially in finance and investment. It determines whether a hire thrives or dives, and yet, it’s often overlooked in favour of CV checkboxes.

Why it matters: Teams that align on values and work styles perform better and retain longer.

What cultural fit looks like: It’s the synergy between company mission and individual drive, not hobbies or personality types.

The Circle Square approach: We don’t just “match skills”—we build long-term success by diving deep into organisational DNA and candidate ambitions.

Case example: A Principal Investments client needed a Head of M&A. We mapped not just talent—but temperament.
