well it depends whether you hire a junior or a senior position.
the general rule is that if i don't hire juniors, then as a manager i want to hire people who are better developers than me.
otherwise if i hire juniors, i obviously expect them to learn, but the paring point is still relevant, and even juniors may bring an interesting perspective to the team, not just their coding skills.
