Maybe, but my mantra is a mix. I use standard technical questions ect. to weed out candidates that cannot do the job - I try to stay general such that I see problem solving, rather than certification. Then I&#x27;m left with a pool of people that are real potential hires. After that I&#x27;m looking for a learner with the right mindset, and THEN I&#x27;m looking for a fit - preferably someone who will complement the team, rather than reinforce what is already working.<p>Hiring is not an exact science, and what works for me, is probably not working for others.
