The hiring advice I stand by: "Don't worry about the technical skills, we can teach them that. Don't hire anyone you wouldn't want to spend 8 hours a day in the same room with."
I've spent 20 years helping new engineers start careers, tip from a top recruiter: there's never any shortage of people who can write code that works (or do the art needed, etc), her challenge is finding people who can do that AND anyone wants to work with, friendly, communicate, take feedback
