The article makes some decent points but I think the premise is altogether wrong. It’s always good to remind ourselves that hiring the “right” people is actually less (but not by a lot,) about raw talent as it is cultural fit, values alignment, being motivated by what they do (hopeful a combination of personal growth, contributing to something meaningful, feeling you’re “goos” at your job, and money) and clicking with the rest of the team(s). In fact, I’ve seen a lot of extremely talented people being very unsuccessful and unhappy because the job just wasn’t right for them.
