Before you read this, read this. What you will most likely learn is that your recruiting and interviewing tactics are just short of bonker balls. Let me describe what I believe are your recruiting tactics, by way of a fish analogy. Who doesn’t love a fish analogy?
You mention core values, so please look at AMMERSE.org where values become a transparency on everything we do - not only the feely - but the touchy too. AMMERSE categorises values into seven aspects of business providing the seven aspects present in decisions, problems, solutions, relationships - you name it. It provides a language for alignment. Never before has there been a value system that can be set to a context and drive behaviours across silos and the entire organisation.
I truly believe values are the much neglected weights of understanding human centric systems. Besides the odd espoused virtue signalling, values are largely ignored at every turn.
Decisions are made - without understanding its impact on values and since values drive behaviour, it is also a constraint in complexity science. Value constraints can be used for blind alignment and autonomous teams, still moving in the same direction, making similar decisions because they are based on values.
This does not remove the need for other tools, but it is the missing piece of most business frameworks, where values take a back seat. Strange because everything we do is to err.
The exposure people tend to get of values, makes them believe its ethics or something - or its just an organisational value discovery exercise you do with the management team once in a while.
Values underpin everything and AMMERSE is a lens that helps us improve everything.

I completely agree with you on the vital importance of values. 100%
