what smart, humble people did he personally pick? Jobs and Woz were high school buddies and what bonded them together was their knack for pranks. Later in early Apple days, Jobs hired Sculley who eventually recognized Jobs's immaturity and fired him later on. Most important members of Mac projects were also hired by Raskin, not Jobs. Further Raskin approached Jobs and Woz when they were operating out of garbage and Jobs tried to terminate Raskin's Mac projects multiple times and fire him. Jon Ive has been with Apple since 1992 and Jobs had nothing to do with his hiring.
