Don’t hire top talent; hire for weaknesses
>Instead of “how can we find the smartest people?” think about “how can we find people who will make our team stronger?”<p>I would have thought that was obvious?  Why would you hire someone unless you had a need for their talents?<p>I guess I'm probably thinking small-business.  At the biggest companies, they probably just hire and hope to fit them in because hiring for exact needs doesn't really scale.
