I was all ready to get up into high dudgeon about hiring people who are capable but can't get along with others - but that's not what this article is about at all.
The author wants to hire people of integrity, not yes-men, and makes a particular point of hiring people who complement his skills. He also touches on several other points that might be undervalued in today's hiring climate.
Definitely some great stuff. I've read a few of his other articles as a result and wow! I'm totally impressed.
The securities industry gets a pretty bad rep. This guy has been a prop trader and hedge fund manager and has integrity in spades; believe it or not but I'm my experience that's a common trait with most of these guys.

Very good stuff IMO
