We hired a recent graduate with little directly relevant experience, but a passion for Capture the Flag challenges. Showed a lot of initiative and curiosity for learning new things.
Has been a great, self-motivated hire who has found problems to solve and led the effort for solving them, resulting in saving our company a lot of money.
