Will you hire differently as a result of these learnings? Are there different skill sets, or did some staff pick up new tasks that stretched them into becoming far better employees than they were pre-recession?

Instead, focus on having the right balance of people who can get the job done and have opportunities to grow and learn and surprise you - and sometimes even themselves.
