Let the journey begin

After a long break, we plan to start recruiting again, and this time from a more powerful position. Previously when I recruited, I was looking for the 2nd or 3rd developer for the team so the question of fitting within the group was not really relevant. Now that's the team has grown - it is crucial.

Starting by listing the attributes that I'm looking for:

• Initiative

• Getting things done

• Ability to learn

• Ability to teach (that's a first for me)

I'm gathering some resources to help me identify what I'm looking for and how to look for it. Reviews and opinions to follow:
