Yep, in my experience, the most talented folks have pretty diverse technical backgrounds and can pretty much work on anything. Creating a pigeon hole and then lookly soley for those pigeons is fairly brain dead thinking in my estimation.
This isn’t to say that a guy who has a narrow skillset on his resume doesn’t have the capability to work on things outside of that, just that the hiring team needs to work that much harder to make the determination if he/she will be able to excel.
