When a company possesses the right factors for motivating its employees, people are attracted to it. When people are onboard, they are motivated to use their talents to make the company successful. I agree, the type of company and their long-term versus short-term needs should determine how they hire to drive its success. People are motivated in different ways. To break it down to the core, these needs can be for the survival (food, shelter, health), emotional safety (benefits, pensions), affection (feeling of belonging, a connection), esteem (feeling of accomplishment, appreciation) and/or self-fulfilment (working to achieve potential, learn).
