In the places I've worked, skill wasn't the primary metric. You had to be good enough but working well in the team was more important. As long as you met the minimum skill requirements for the position, we prefer people who increase overall team efficiency. We tend to avoid "rockstar developers" in my current company because many wouldn't be happy here. I happened to be a "rockstar" right now because my skills and culture are an ideal match. My team is small and does a lot, so we really can't afford to hire the wrong person. Better to leave the position open.
