1. Evidence that they can come through with the goods. 2. They have creativity outside of advertising represented in their portfolio. 3. Not every job on their resume lasted only 1 year long. 4. They’d not be exactly like everyone else on the team. 5. And they prove ego-free (interviews/references).

Are they necessary?

Me, me, also me

Whether they can keep their subject-verb agreement and/or parallel listing going (j/k - I know we need an edit button on these posts).

All snark aside, I mostly look at how it all adds up on a cost-benefit level. Where will their style plug in, and is that something I need consistently? How often will I need it? Will they be working consistently (but not to the point of crunch), or will they be bench warming unless a specific client needs their work? Can they write in other languages? How well, and how often is that needed?

If there's a net gain there (which at least offsets their salary but hopefully does more than that), make an approach. If not, I keep them in my network, but I don't make any promises.

I'm trying to suss out if a new member of our dept hates me or my team (she manages a different team).

My initial take is she's just hard to read and probably a tightly controlled introvert. My direct report felt she's 'cold as ice,' 'bristling' at our suggestions, and forming a clique that wants to do their own thing with no input from our team. He's triggered very easily, and there was no explicit evidence, just a 'vibe' so I wrote it off. (See 1st comment)
