Absolutely agreed. In fact, these kind of hiring services aren't of much interest to me because I think that a lot of developers are "good enough" coders- but that their personality (be it perfectionism, whatever) is more variable.

I'd prioritise finding a developer that is "good enough" and fits well into a team over a razor-sharp developer that can't work to deadlines or participate in meetings.
