There are two theories in hiring people!
There are two theories in hiring people
1.Find the candidate who lacks major weakness (but doesn't have major strengths )
2.Find a candidate who has major strengths ( even though he has major weaknesses)
.................High achievers tend to have major weaknesses. people without major weaknesses tend to be mediocre.

I don't have a rule like Guy Kawasaki , I think it's difficult to access if anyone is good and where he/she is good. So what do I do? (I hired more than 50 people in my life and done more than 500 interviews)
I believe in Frank Sinatra song
If I can make it there, I'll make it anywhere
I hire people that have done well in their life in anything, in sports, in the scouts, having a summer job, winning small competitions etc... a winner or a competitive person will do well anywhere. I pay some attention to the quant scores and not so much to the interview. In fact I read that the interview most of the times is worth zero or even negative. (no surprise here)
