I hired and whatever was the person, if he was good, he was good. I hired a guy who couldn't even write in PHP (programming language). On top of that, the guy came VERY relaxed (short and tongs) to the interview. Thing is that he was gifted and learning the language was a mundane thing for him. He did an exceptional work after only two or three weeks. Another guy, black, wasn't able to write Java properly (another language) and he was asking for mobile developer job. His English was abysmal. Yet, when I asked few questions, I saw he was very smart and that he could do great with proper guidance. He did deliver. And yes, I always ask followup questions to ensure I am not getting things wrong and that entail question like "Do you know the name of the company". I really had to ask that one in presence of the CEO who looked at me like "are you mad?". The guy butchered the company name :-D I had people who were fantastic with which I clicked and had to say "no". So, not always easy. And that's why I summarize people as a set of numbers. Those are easy to compare and not subject to feelings. It's also why, beside some followup question, I follow a protocol written in advance. Too many* recruiters do it with their "gut" feeling discarding their own psychology in the process and their training...if even they got one; We are easily influenceable. *euphemism
