Hypothetical: What if the applicant has a very good/fantastic/outstanding/commendable or have a solid work experience or more than that of his...?

qualifications and years of employment for that matter. Would you still go for the qualification and years of employment knowing that the right applicant is already in front of you? This is quite a very interesting topic in response to Sir Mohammed Sadiq Hafeez Khan's question "How to handle situations where the demands of a qualified applicant are higher than his / her qualifications & experiences?"

A professional recruiter has an eye for talent, balancing between competencies and job description requirements such as education, years of experience etc.

 

I personally don't believe that years of experience are a key indicator of success, it's the quality of experience that is important.

 

Moreover, competitor companies are not necessarily the same, each company has its own culture and know-how, so hiring someone who has worked x number of years for another company is not a guarantee for success.

 

In the case where the candidate has an excellent background and perfect competencies but falls short of expected years of experience, I would short-list the candidate and allow for an interview.

 

This way I broaden the options given to the decision makers (line/department managers), so that they have four short-listed candidates instead of three.

 

The hiring decision is a 50-50 between the hiring departments and the HR and it's my duty to explain the strength and weaknesses of each candidate to the hiring department.

 

I've done so before for a leading government owned company, they wanted a manager with a minimum of 7 years experience in a certain role, I put forward matching CVs plus a CV of an excellent candidate who only had two years experience in the required role, surprisingly they favored the two-year candidate and hired him, he served the company for over three years before being headhunted by another reputable entity.

 

That's what talent acquisition is all about.

This would definitly depend on the job role and to which country where you are recruiting for. Most often not, over skilled employees would get demoralised in the wrong industry and/or organisation operating in a country where the employees full potential is not harness due to the nature of operations. It's always 'right person for the right place and right job'!!!!

At times pple choose the latter due to different perspectives, in that;joblessness force pple to choose whatever comes first. While others prefer humble beginnings so as to master different trades from what they have attained before. Passion for a different job which is acquired with time...
