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.

There is a company that I want to apply to and I see opportunities on LinkedIn that interest me. I’m also working with a recruiter. It’s close to where I live and she knows where I live but she hasn’t recommended it. I’m guessing she doesn’t have a network with the company. Should I ask her to represent me or should I apply directly myself? What advice do you have? What are the pros and cons?

Getting job using fake experience and fake certificates is easier than getting job as a fresher or switching jobs with experience by serving notice period !

If companies do proper background verification or able to decrease notice period to 30days genienue candidates will get benefited.

In recent job selection on service based companies many new joiners are with fake experience but with good packages, In project managing them is too difficult too for sure as far as i know
