Is experience the only metric to measure the capability, skills, and expertise of a candidate?

With education you have knowledge, with experience and the right way to analyze and valuate and use it you have knowledge and wisdom. So, I would say that experience is the most valuable factor, of course based on the knowledge.

experience only is  not the main factor in H.R

there are many factors to determine the caliber of someone,like

1-depth of the knowledge in the general technology .

2-learning speed of the employee .

3-adaptability and capacity  for the specific function .  

Ability may bring a candidate to the top but only character can keep him/her there.

No, there are other issues needed that can reflect the skills and capabilities:

- Success stories

- Capability and will to learn

- Assessments

- References

to measure someone capabilities, skills and expertise, we can use several complementary methods :

1) Experience which is not assessed only through time but via projects conducted and objectives reached during his time at the company

2) HR assessment via many tools of psychometrics evaluations tools like Profiles XT who assess the job matching between the candidate thinking style, soft skills and interests and the performance model of top performers in this particular positions.

3) Job interviews, job references, endorsements, etc.

It helps in someways to come to a decision but education in particular field would make much productive measure.

There are four key elements : * persuasion  

* communication { good communication between the team to build the mutual trust , even if sign language }.

* Leader ship :{ how to creating a kind of familiarity among employees taking into account the job description and individual differences }.

* Respect .

* After that  Experience and skills

Education, Personality, Communication, Leadership and Team Management Skill along with Experience.

Experience is very important and is not enough. Knowledge must be updated through study, taking modern courses, and developing skills to keep pace with the progress that is taking place.

THE ROLE OF EXPERIENCE ONLY TO RECONSTRUCT  THEIR IDEAS FOR FURTHERS  SKILLS DEVELOPMENTS .

In modern era experience is considered the most important aspect but every body even the top executives were people with no experience and somebody enabled the to gain experience which they d put forget while hiring and emphasize on experience only.
