Hiring for Cultural Add™
Finding leaders who thrive in your workplace culture is critical, but hiring is more than a checklist. At Luminary, we help you recruit for CulturalAdd™, leaders who enhance, rather than just fit, your culture.
Our approach:
1. Define your culture code
We work with you to articulate your organisation’s core values and behaviours, embedding them into every stage of the hiring process.
2. Pre-screen with culture in mind
From the first review of applications, we evaluate candidates against your culture code, ensuring alignment and potential CulturalAdd.
3. Develop multi-stage assessment
Using our proprietary L-CAR® framework, we design interviews that test how candidates interact and adapt to your organisation’s culture.
“Their professionalism, insightful guidance, and thorough communication made the process seamless and stress-free. The team’s approachable nature, positive attitude, expertise and dedication are exceptional.”
— Executive Director, State Agency
L-FIT® Luminary Fit Insight Tool
How we Illuminate culture
We explore six core dimensions, with L-FIT® that reveal how your organisation truly operates day to day:
Purpose & Identity – Why you exist, what you stand for, and what you’ll never compromise on.
Leadership DNA – The behaviours and decision styles that shape how people lead and follow.
Pace & Change Readiness – The rhythm of work and your appetite for change.
Communication & Connection – How openly people speak up, share ideas and stay informed.
People Experience – What energises or drains your teams, and what belonging really feels like.
Values in Action – Where your stated values show up in daily decisions, and where they don’t.
“They provided great advice and expertise throughout the recruitment process. They were very responsive to client needs and have exceptional customer service skills as well as having a calming influence over candidates in what can be a very stressful time.”
— Director, Local Government Organisation
