Ask HN: Character vs. Skill for hiring?

1 points by subsidd ↗ HN
I have read that while hiring skills should be assessed first and then character. What's the general practice by HN readers? Do you generally have character assessing mechanisms at place? How do you weigh in between character (beliefs, POVs) and skills?

I'd never hire or work with someone with poor character. However, it's often impossible to tell someone has poor character from an interview. That makes it kind of moot.
