One cannot hire attitude as sacrosanct as attitude changes with the change in surrounding environment.

Potential and skills can be hired with a minimum level to be developed and used.

Generally speaking, yes I agree.However, people are greedy bay nature, and employers like/wish/dream of getting all what they need/expect in the same person.  Good luck to them !!

 

However, if you have to make a choice, I agree that attitude and the adapatability/ability to learn is the most important thing.

I agree.

Skills are important, but hiring the right skills with the wrong attitude will result in a lot of headaches. You can teach skills, but teaching attitude is extremely difficult.
