Keep in mind that you may be getting a lot of good people with a lot of pros, but that don't do themselves justice on paper.
Possible, but the painful disappointments have all been the reverse. Good on paper, but the paper is, to be generous, "embellished."
Sure, but it's really hard to try it the other way: "Well, he looks like a dipshit on paper, but I've just got a feeling."
I haven't hired for my own company yet, but when I did if for previous employers I found it quite hard.
