It's so hard to evaluate non-tech talent unless you've worked with them. I come from a product management background which is arguably one of the hardest because most of my input isn't tangible (the best PM's empower their team to do their best work).
How exactly do you place talent, @susanxzheng?

@rrhoover brief aside... but so much yes. It's a challenge I face when trying to hire a PM and convincing other people in my org why they are the right person. It can be incredibly hard to evaluate a good PM.
