It's more important to have someone passionate than someone with knowledge but has lost his passions. Being passionate will make the person work hard for it. Most people will somehow choose project first, than people first. This is the norm in our IT industry. But by taking in new projects, then start hiring for new people.....there's a high possibility that we might hire the people who's capable ONLY for that specific project. :D Just my opinion. ;) Yea Mark, you’re right again.

Problems that need solving will always come, and having the smart people in the room to tackle them was my approach. Of course, this was not a company that I started. Even so, managing good people and so/so people is a big difference. BTW....I'm speaking to passion, not knowledge. I would take a passionate person any day over an expert. Of course, having the combination of the two makes you very happy to be lucky enough to work with someone like this. I was in a similar situation, and hired the smart people first.
