Millions of workers have quit their jobs in just the last few months — which means employers will have a robust list of candidates to interview as people search for their next workplace.

But how can companies know which candidates will actually stick with their company and help them build a healthy and balanced workplace culture? Taylor Smith, co-founder and CEO at the employee experiential rewards platform Blueboard, says it starts with employers rethinking the candidate experience so that it aligns with company values.

This question is just one of many that Smith finds helpful since it tests for self-awareness — a necessary component in a company that claims to value employees who do not limit who they are at work.

“We are looking for someone who has a developed idea of who they are and why they are the way they are,” says Smith. “When people get to that level of understanding and self-awareness, it’s much easier for them to be themselves.”
