It's a matching process. If you as the employer feel this way, and the candidate feels these things are important, you're not right for each other. That's an appropriate thing to discover in an interview.

In this labor market, I wouldn't work somewhere that wanted me to be a "team player" about a shitty computer or micromanage my tasks. There are things to be a team player about, of course, but not the basic tools and structures for even beginning to get work done.
