I'd like to add to this - in addition to measurable, pertinent skills and
experience is attitude, growth potential, aptitude for acquiring knowledge,
likelihood of advancing within the company, sense of humour - perhaps,
conversation / people skills, etc., etc., etc.  Things that either cannot be
measured or are extremely difficult to measure.  That's where gut feelings and
judgement calls come in.
