Hire Attitude - Train Skills

Frankly speaking I didn’t understand what these words meant until I had a Google just now.

It should be Hire for attitude - train for skill

Some snip from internet about the explanation of this sentence:

The most important factor in hiring is attitude. Hire for it. Through the resume process you're going to find people who have the basic skill levels you're looking for. That's the first hoop. Then with a telephone screen you can find out if people have the foundational knowledge and the intellect for what you want.

But when you bring them in for an interview, the most important question you need to answer is "Can we work with this applicant?" The second most-important question is "Is this applicant teachable?"

If you cannot answer "yes" to BOTH of those questions, a "do not hire" sign needs start flashing above your candidate's head. Move them along, wish them well, and bring in your next applicant.
