Who are we looking for?.
If wishes were horses, we'd like all our new hires to have Isaac Newtons' IQ, da Vinci's passion, Michelangelo's attention to detail, Gautam Buddha's detachment, Mother Teresa's compassion and the like. But given they aren't, we've scaled down our expectation somewhat and are left with a few qualities we simply can't do without -
Teamwork
Place team before self
Give and take constructive criticism
Accountability
Take pride in one's work
Be self-driven
Remain outcome focussed
Adaptability
Continuous learning
Flexibility
Competence
Strong fundamentals
Good cognitive skills
