Hire individuals who demonstrate these behaviors and attributes, even if they don't have all the technical skills you require:
* Energy
* Enthusiasm
* Ability to persuade and galvanize others
* Ability to follow through
* Proven consistency in deliverables
* Strong work ethic
* Resourcefulness
Either a person has these qualities or they don't. If they have them, even if they are short on the technical skills, they will likely succeed and grow within your organization. They also are probably prime candidates to be mentored by you.
