It is a little bit of both really but along a spectrum. If a person is really really good you don't care much about their resume. If they don't have relevant experience but spent some time on their resume it helps show interest. If you are fresh out of college, the second approach is probably all you have.

I understand that, but I don't see why interest should count for much. Out of two equal candidates, the interested one is probably better, but I don't know if interest is a good predictor of job performance... Maybe it is, though.
Interest is what gives someone the motivation to learn and improve themselves.

I'm a professional. I don't have to be interested in what your company does. If you pay me my asking rate, I will do a damn good job at producing exactly what you need. If I have to learn and improve myself to do that, I will.
