I'd say the ultimate proof of being both talented and effective is being part of a talent acquisition where the acquired team's product can be fully evaluated.
The fact that Google does many such acquisitions is, to me, conclusive evidence that they do value both of these traits.
But no, maybe not so much in the hiring process, because it's difficult and error-prone enough just to determine potential effectiveness.
