Skills and Character

When you hire a person, do you judge them on skills alone? Probably not. You care whether they are kind, generous, patient, whether they will settle into the team. Someone too stubborn, too aggressive, too much of a taker gets passed over. In hiring, character weighs as much as skill.

What about AI agents? The world still picks them by benchmark scores, coding accuracy, speed — intelligence, broadly speaking. Fair enough. We are in a period of transition, and when "smarts" are improving this fast, that is where the attention goes. But the moment you think of an AI agent as a colleague, should intelligence and skill really be the whole interview?
