Personality hire

Recruitment practice

In recruitment, a personality hire refers to the practice of hiring candidates for their personality and vibes, rather than their tangible skill set. Personality hires typically have stronger soft skills than hard skills, may serve as a morale booster within the workplace, and help build corporate culture. Some candidates may label themselves as personality hires due to imposter syndrome. The term came into mainstream use in 2023 and is similar to that of a diversity hire.
