Over at Coroflot's Creative Seeds blog, Yang Kim, Creative Director of People Design, talks about what she looks for in a new hire. We like answer #6:
6. Regarding creative employment, what do you know now that you wished you knew then?
Well, this may sound like a contradiction, but I always thought that a very professional person who interviews well would be the one to hire. But our best hires have been those who did not interview well; the creative people that I've been really impressed with at interview usually don't work out. Figuring that one out is my problem, of course. I have to make sure I'm not being sold entirely by the personality, but can see into the work and the mind of the designer.

Oh dear, do all the designers forgot how to smile? She scared me with her look. And People design? I wouldn't trust a designer that do not smile.
