You're comparing apples vs. oranges. I suspect a competent hacker can do a lot of things not related to coding. Per the original comment, a hacker created the most social network of the decade. I think a hacker can manage the demands of a team internally.
Because different jobs need different skill sets? Why does being a 'hacker' make you qualified or even appropriate to manage something like HR or marketing?
Recruiting is part of HR; at fast-growing companies, it's a pretty big part. Wouldn't it make sense to hire some recruiters who are able to distinguish at least roughly between good hackers and bad ones?
