I just passed on a recent candidate who was a perfect technical fit for an open position on my team (far better than the candidates I’m now considering). He did, however, come across as extremely arrogant and abrasive.

I can work with a junior team member growing into a role but I can’t jeopardize the entire team dynamic based on one person’s inability to work well with others, regardless of how proficient they might be.
