This has been entirely my approach and experience as well. In some ways I would go further.

If your manager hires you then he/she is sure of your technical skill.

If I hire you, I know your technical skill (high or low), which IMO can be built easily, provided you have demonstrated the right soft skills around learning, communication and team-work, which are far harder to assess before hiring, but are also the foundation in which your technical skills will grow, and also more valuable to the company.
