Jerks and culture misfits need jobs too. If you deny them, one day we might all end up working for them. Misfits and jerks found the industry. Myers Briggs personality test, which was a standard practice once is now irrelevant in the tech industry and its a good thing. Those personality tests would disqualify many good tech professions. It has been hard for me to have any strong opinions about hiring. Many people disproved all previous assumptions. Skills do matter, some people are much better than others. Some people are good to talk to and are comforting to be around but they don't get the job done. They can use their soft skills to convince you why something was impossible to do. Problem solving skills, learning skills, risk taking behavior, passion for something, tenacity, optimism etc are also very important in judging a candidate for a technical role.
