Last night I facilitated a discussion at the Brew City HDI chapter around this question:
How do you hire great people?
With no exception, the answer was “I hire for soft skills and teach the technical skills.” These were the “soft skills” the managers I talked with said were most important:
Attention to detail
Written communication
Verbal communication
Attitude
Willingness to learn new things
Ability to play nice with others
Do you agree that soft skills are the best predictor of success?
What would you add to this soft skills list?
How do YOU hire great people?
