I recently heard/read something which I actually can't really remember whether was aimed at tech hires or other, but it just resonated with me. Remember that the process you choose to screen your hires defines the people you end up with.

You may want these - but in a lot of cases what you probably needed was somewhat more pragmatic programmers.
