What actually makes someone a perfect fit for a role?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately.

When we say someone is a good fit, what are we really judging?

It’s rarely just skills.

Sometimes it’s how they think, how they communicate, how they approach problems things that don’t really show up on a resume.

But the weird part is, we still rely mostly on resumes to make that decision.

We’ve been experimenting with a different idea at OBAET:

creating a sort of “twin” of a role not just skills, but thinking style and work approach and then matching people to that.

Still early but it made me question something:

Do we even know how to define fit properly today?

Curious how others think about this.
