My team hires for both. Skills come first, but behavioral qualities are a major factor in who we'll hire when going apples to apples with candidates

Perfect qualities of a manager!

Attitude first, skills second

Both, they are equally important in my opinion. I would rather have an entry level hardworking recent grad than a snotty, veteran coder any day.

I mostly hire for skills, but a poor attitude that seems like it would clash with my team is a dealbreaker also.
