Two energetic applicants, one with univ. degree & 5 yrs experience Vs a high school & 15 yrs of experience. whom do you select for director position?

Experience teaches a lot more than a degree !

However its not necessary that experienced person would be more knowledgeable than a person with degree and less experience.

We need to see what kind of projects they both have worked on and what kind of exposure they have got. 

If a degree holder with5 years of experience have done more projects , have more required skills and have more exposure then he should be the one who should be hired over experienced person.

it is dependent on requirement for his position 

looking for what they did in there years experience . you might found that one have 5 years experience done a projects more than another one who have 15 years 

the point is what he did not haw many time he spent  

thanks for your invitation 

i fully agree with all experts

Can not take a theoretical decision, why they put great importance to the personal interview, as well as the job description and then compared to the incumbent specifications with the job description and is recognized as the incumbent of the actual job description of the biography, documents and personal interview and when it makes the decision in the light of the match the job description with the description of the incumbent

practical life it's different from Educational life, So i think The highest experience and achievements are the most important for this position.

Depends on the nature of the job

If an executive prefers his experience

Although administrative prefer higher education

Thank you for the invitation I will choose according to the requirements of the job

Thank you for the invitation

Thanks for the information

I Agree with colleagues answer

It's a case to case scenario & depends on requirement as such. But, I would rather prefer high experienced person for this role.
