Do employers care about my values?

Clearly, you would want both the functional expertise and alignment with mission and values. But I would think that all other things being equal, if you've got somebody who's perfect and functionally expert, but doesn't align on values or doesn't really care about your mission, they're probably not a good fit. If you maybe have 60, 70% of the functional expertise required but you do align on mission and values, then almost certainly that's going to be the preference, to hire that second example. And if you recognise that as a candidate, then it is actually quite easy to demonstrate that.
