Finding the right match

I was going through a case study on the hiring process at SG Cowen, a successful investment bank. I found in their hiring process the reason for my encountering dissatisfied employees at all levels in every healthcare organization i worked with. Cowen's hiring process was based on using technical skills as merely a qualifying criteria. The rigorous process they had devised was instead focused on finding the 'right match". The right match almost sounds matrimonial...it had be love for the job/groom and a proper fit into the groom's 'family'. But look at the hiring in our hospitals and clinics. The degrees and the technical skills matter. The rest is mostly ignored.
