I think the bigger lesson is probably something along the lines of:<p>First, make sure they can do the job technically, within some sort of parameters of what they can currently do and what can be learned on the job. That&#x27;s your baseline.<p>Then, try and suss out if they&#x27;d be good to work with. That will come naturally through the way they interact with you in the interview and how they answer questions (whether they are the questions in the article or completely different ones).<p>If you reckon they tick the boxes for those two major attributes, it&#x27;s then just a matter of weighing up how much of each attribute they bring to the table and if the balance is right.
