I use 3 options:

1 - Hire peoples with a good history, in good projects. Soo, you have code and peoples to say things about he/shee.

2 - I get someone intelligent, with good skills, and teach what it need to know.

3 - Peoples with a history of teaching other peoples.

But we alway make a test drive of some weeks with this persons. Where we can test how it works, if it's really capable to do what is needed, and if it's capable to understand the group.

The best thing that you need to know, is that to have a creative team you need diversity. Soo, you can't chose a single style, and only hire peoples with this style, or everybody will make the same thing, where everybody know how to do this and that, where everybody can put the finger in the job of the other. Since one person can't be good in all at the same time, you really need diversity. The best thing of diversity, is that everybody can bring new things to the others, what make the job more interesting, what break the routine to seat in front the computer.
