This may sound a bit much but here it goes,
After suffering through some bad experiences at the hands of other company's employees I swear I wish a "basic" IQ test was
the start of every application for work.
I want thinkers working for me! someone who can react on
the spot! someone who is sharp and does not need to be told
the type of things that just pop into my mind the second a situation comes up.Someone you don't have to hold by the hand every second to make sure they don't screw up!
I believe this one simple step by an employer can save the
company from law suits because some un-thinking employee
just can't think on their feet!
Instead I picture framed letters from customers and clients
that were so impressed with how a situation or problem was handled they just "had" to sit down and write to the owner of the business how very pleased they were with how things were handled!
I want to be Proud of my employees!
I want to know that I have the best group of employees in town!
I want to know that if I am laid up somehow/someway that things will run like a Swiss watch in my absence!
I think all this "can" happen if you cherry pick sharp quick thinking applicants from the start!
Who out there thinks I am wrong?

Grades don't matter at all. Communication skills matter the most - They must be easy to understand and use proper English. They must look neat, and seem alert. Breathing is always good. Fidgety is bad, as is nervous, and someone who won't look me in the eye. Basic good manners and hygiene, with a touch of personality, but not TOO much personality, as I don't want them to be offensive to my clients.

Attitude matters. Some people just can't learn from a book. I want to see some stability and maturity, as well as a willingness to learn.

yes, but being able to communicate, to write well, and the ability to work well with others are at least as important. Depending on the job, they may be more important.
Relevant experience is also important.
