Effective communication and collaborating with a team is important competency to almost every role, while a few of the candidates may have technical skills and it was hard to identify in the interview, if they severely lack basic communication skills then it is likely they will not succeed in the job.

The exceptions are when the role requires and candidate has extraordinary (i.e. 10x) skills then most other typical requirements such as communication or behavior can be relaxed, such roles are not common and handling ( and interviewing) rockstars as a manager is special skill of its own.
