The is a response to both comments above:

The meritocracy argument is usually brought up by people that are shitty colleagues. Personality is more important than being "good at your job", the latter improves with time and mentoring, the former usually doesn't.

We hire the person first and the skillset second.

Then write that in the job description instead of using the amount of bling in the resume as a proxy.

I know not to apply for jobs looking for “friendly, outgoing people” and it saves everyone a bunch of time.

We optimise for the convenience of potential hires, not the convenience of obvious rejects.
