The decision to hire someone (or not hire someone) is often the result of a blend of factors, all of which are specific to the industry, company and role. But new data shows that, on average, 32% of people in tech say “work ethic” is the most important quality and “prior experience”\u00a0is\u00a0the least.<\/p>\n

Indeed, the results show that “work ethic” was the most important quality (32% of the vote), followed next by “integrity” (24%), “good culture fit” (20%), and “resourcefulness” (16%).\u00a0Perhaps the biggest surprise was that “prior experience” was the least popular response (8%).<\/p>\n
