Ah, got it. The difference between "culture fit" and "culture add" is fascinating. In the example of a hiring manager, I think vibes may be an unconscious or unspoken part of the process. When a candidate's vibe resonates with a hiring manager, they may be biased by that information and end up hiring people like them vs people who are qualified. Or, rejecting qualified people with a different vibe.

The manager may not be able to articulate this part of the hiring decision. It would be weird to say "Because they have a good vibe" or "I don't they are cool enough", so it often goes unspoken or put into other words.
