Soft skills are a top hiring priority.  A 2014 survey by CareerBuilder revealed that 77% of employers seek candidates with desirable soft skills.  Of those, 16% felt that these qualities were more crucial than hard skills.  The reason – hard skills can be learned on the job, while soft skills need to be mastered prior to job entry.  As a result, soft skills should be a top hiring priority, this according to Avinoam Nowogrodski in the February 23, 2015 article from Fast Company.
