Absolutely, that is one of the most important skill sets to have in this field (or any for that matter). I can say with all honesty, I would not be where I am today without that ability.
When I used to hire people, I'd ask for a writing sample. Nothing fancy. A document they've written. Even a few paragraphs.
Also, I'd send them e-mail and ask for `further elaboration' on something `easy' on their resume. I wasn't trying to trick them. I wanted to see their writing style.
Anyone with poor writing skills didn't go further.
