Value Fit
The Value Fit assesses the match between organisational values and the personal values of candidates. The methodology is based on Schwartz’s value model (1992).
Waarden die gescoord worden :
- Performance & Recognition: personal success at work, with skills and achievements being recognised within the
organisation - Status & Leadership: social status and prestige in the workplace, which manifest themselves in leadership roles
and influence - Colleagueship: committing to the needs of people with whom one regularly works and building harmonious and
supportive working relationships - Equality & Inclusion: equality, respect, and protection against discrimination for all members of the organisation;
socially responsible policies - Stability & Security: safety, stability, well-being and risk avoidance in the work and organisational setting
- Tradition: preserving, respecting and promoting the organisation’s traditions, culture and customs
- Conformity: meeting and adapting to management’s expectations and standards, setting aside personal
preferences to maintain organisational order - Autonomy: independent thinking and decision-making, creativity and exploration at work; freedom to choose
how one does their job - Variety & Challenge: variation, seeking out new impetus and challenges in work situations and contexts
- Job Satisfaction & Personal Interests: job satisfaction and balance between work and recreational and leisure
interests
- Predictor of retention – values fit is a strong indicator of retention, engagement and well-being.
- Culture and team fit – increases the likelihood of sustainable matches, smoother onboarding and better collaboration.
- Clear, shared language – makes values explicit and easier to discuss in both selection and HR processes.
- Fair & transparent – there is no “right or wrong”; it is about finding a good fit.
By including the Value Fit, you can identify early in the process where there is a strong values match (and where there isn’t) something that often remains invisible during interviews.
The report provides an overview of what values are, how they can be interpreted, and why you may want to assess them. It also takes a closer look at the candidate’s results and their fit with the organisation, using rich visuals and tailored feedback texts.
You get:
- What are values and why measure them
- Candidate results – The values hierarchy shows which values carry more weight than others in a candidate’s choices and behaviour. Each value includes an explanation of the score.
- Overall Value Fit* – a concise overview of the degree of fit.
- Person–Organisation Fit per value* – a visual representation of the proximity or distance between the organisation and the candidate for each value.
- Explanation of Person–Organisation Fit* – when is there a good fit, and what does this mean for the candidate and the organisation?
*This section is optional in the report. This information is only shown when your organisation has completed the Value Fit organisational survey. The results of that survey are then used as an internal benchmark in the report.
-
In selection
Use the Value Fit to assess whether a candidate’s values align with your organisation’s culture. This helps identify potential mismatches early and increases the likelihood of sustainable hiring, motivation and retention. -
In team development
Compare individual profiles with the values of the team or department. This highlights where strengths lie and where tensions may arise, helping to strengthen complementarity and collaboration. -
In organisational development
Use the Value Fit as a mirror: to what extent are your desired core values truly reflected within the organisation? By combining individual and group results, you gain valuable input to shape your culture and HR policies more effectively.
