    How important is “fit” when hiring?

    I've got a candidate who, in all respects but one, is a perfect fit. Basically a unicorn for our weird tech stack.

    But lord is he dull. Near as I can tell he has no interests outside of work. Just a bland white middle aged guy.

    The rest of the team is moderately diverse, and interesting, and have active internal lives.

    @coriolisdave I'd rather have boring than egocentric asshole.

    Maybe he'll open up later?

    @JillsJoy i mean dude IS a white south african, so odds of also being an egocentric asshole are..... nonzero
