There are plenty of people who have a fantastic knowledge of CS theory and are pretty useless at solving real world problems.

Again, it depends what you're looking for. If the real world problem is "we need a fast optimising compiler that runs on our embedded platform" then hiring someone who is great solving problems but knows nothing of compiler theory is going to be very inefficient.
