This is definitely not true of Jobs. He would put aside time to identify and heavily recruit engineers he thought were talented. Scott Forstall has a story about how Jobs was basically afraid that he (Forstall) would be put off by the rest of the HR process and pulled him out and told him he's getting hired and to just go through the motions. Cabel Sasser from Panic has a story about how Jobs and Schiller tried to recruit Panic to work at Apple. Bill Atkinson also has a story about Jobs spending a day pitching to him to join the Apple engineering team.
