If all hiring was conducted strictly by reviewing resumes it would be very easy to make the best staff picks. However, that won't necessarily provide you with the full portrait of that worker. All of this begs the question: Should you hire for experience or personality?

While experience is needed to perform the job it is really the personality that determines whether the employee will contribute to the growth of the business or will drain resources and bring it down. You could hire an expert, but if he is not a team player and doesn't get along with others how is he going help?

You have make hiring decision based on personality. As you rightly mentioned you can always train someone if he has the right personality.
