I always look for 1) members of my fraternity, 2) other fraternity and sorority participants , 3) band members, believe it or not. I almost always skip anybody with any sports experience at all, though I've regretted that a few times.

Sometimes I look for technical expertise in some area but more often than not just confidence and ability to communicate.

Everything else is just boilerplate

I worked for PWC for years , don't kid yourself sweetheart

Eager and ability to contribute kinda goes without saying but apparently not with you schlubs, but those things being equal that's my criteria listed above

Look for strong overall candidates- decent gpa, sports involvement, summer internships, a well rounded candidate, and someone you enjoy talking with, who's a team player and not a douche.

I got it , you just want the stupid canned safe answer instead of what people actually do. Rock on, drone

GDI - I stay away from frat bros

CG1, you are delusional if you think what you do is what most people actually do. Some firms actually do value diversity of experience.
