Hiring new people: Choosing between attitudes and skills

posted by 
Steve Levy (318)

"As long as the person has all of the skills, or satisfies enough of the skills requirements, if he has a good attitude, he’s worth his weight in gold. After all, you can teach technical skills!"

Wonderful discussion on TechRepublic.com about Hiring new people: Choosing between skills and attitude. Say what you will as a result of your experience as a recruiter but when you read what non-rectruiters say, think about how you feel.
