A bit tangential here, but I look for personality and character traits. Even if it's an internship, I prefer working with good folks who may lack the industry skills but bring paramount value by their behaviour and world views.

Kevin Brendel · Answer

I value practical experience over formal education (at least for technical roles). It is possible to get a degree but not be well equipped to actually work on real projects around here.

Right, I agree
It's the same problem I'm trying to solve
I'm curious about how to validate hard skills (technical stack compliance, enough competence) and soft skills
What do you think of this?

In applicant recruitment, I often notice a strong focus on job performance, relevant skills, and qualifications. Organizational adaptability and cultural fit are also key factors. Leadership potential is highly sought after by growth-oriented companies. Soft skills like communication and teamwork are frequently valued. 
Overall, a balance between technical expertise and interpersonal abilities is sought after by many recruiters.

Answer

I look for passion and it is reflected when someone works on something even if there wasn't any compulsion. Like working on some personal project.
Now the project has to be something that is solving some real-world problem, preferably something that he/she has experienced themselves.
I also check if the person has played some team sport or not, preferably a leadership role like captain.
While checking this, we get a gist of his/her interpersonal skills.
Passion, skills, teamwork, and personality skills verified!

Thanks for your opinion. Right, even if it's a little technical, I think it's important to work with a good person with important values!

Anatolii · Answer

Appropriate hard skills (technical stack compliance, enough competence) and soft skills, from which the most essential are proactivity and conviviality.

@baekgang hard skills can be validated by the appropriate specialists of the same role as they have the necessary competence. But you should trust them:)
As for soft skills, HR managers could help, but almost everybody is an ideal person during the interview, and his personality will fully disclose only while working. So it's like a lottery😁

I agree. I think talent and competence in technical roles are important
Do you know that practical experience is important for a company?
I don't think formal things help anymore
