Recruiters in India use the word fitment every day, usually about salary. We use it more broadly: how well a person matches the role, the team and the way a company works.
What a CV shows
A CV is a list of employers, titles and tools. It is good evidence of exposure. It is weak evidence of skill, and no evidence at all of how someone behaves when a project slips or a manager disagrees with them.
The three things we check
- Skill. Can they do the work at the level this role needs? We test it; we do not infer it from a title.
- Problem-solving. How do they think through a real situation from your business?
- Team. Do they suit the pace, structure and values of the people they will sit with?
Why we write it down
Every candidate we send comes with a short fitment note that gives our reasons. If we cannot write a convincing note, the candidate does not go on the shortlist. It keeps us honest, and it gives you something to challenge before you spend an hour in an interview.
