(12,769 posts)"would not be a cultural fit for the company" excerpt of your post. Now that I have reread it, my post doesn't make much sense.
However, I do feel that basing hiring decisions on cultural fits is a very poor policy and that your company will lose out by using it. I understand that it would seem like a dream environment to only have to work with those that you get along with and share certain beliefs but you will also miss out on potentially stimulating and divergent ideas by limiting your viewpoints.
Plus, I still view privacy as one of the most important aspects of our Constitution and your policy seems to not only require people to divulge their political viewpoints but to also be prejudiced against those from certain regions.
Not only that, but you are missing the opportunity to share what you know with those whose beliefs you don;t share. Perhaps you can change some minds. I know I have done so at work.
Still, I do apologize for not thoroughly reading your post before replying.
