If two applicants for a job are otherwise equally qualified, the job should go to the applicant with more experience.

While education equips us with significant technical skills along with the domain knowledge required to succeed in our chosen fields of work, experience is often the greatest teacher. However, this experience may also limit our enthusiasm as well as creativity. I somewhat agree that, if all other aspects of applicants' profiles are at par with each other, those with greater experience make for better candidates.
Organizations benefit from the experience that employees bring to the table. First, experienced candidates will need far less training, guidance, and hand-holding when they take on a new role in the organization since they can draw on their past exposure to the field or to professional environments in general. On the other hand, those with lesser experience will face a much steeper learning curve that will, both, draw on the resources of the organization and possibly compromise initial productivity.
Nevertheless, candidates with limited experience bring other benefits to the table. First, as one starts off in a new field, they are likely to appreciate opportunities that come their way far more than others might. Betting on a smart candidate, who may be new to the field, is likely to result in their working hard to cross the learning curve and add value to the organization. After all, they would feel the need to prove that they are the right person for the job, both to the employer and to themselves. In contrast, the confidence that comes with several years of experience could just as easily transform into complaesence. Thereby, it is important to consider candidates' determination and drive to succeed in the new role, apart from their qualifications and experience.
Further, while several years worth of professional experience in a particular field helps one build extensive expertise, it also closes one's mind off to new possibilities. If the role, for which the organization plans to hire someone, requires creativity or if the organization itself plans to transition to a new mode of working or new sectors, the ablity to problem-solve and even undertake creative-destruction is all the more important. To be able to do this, experienced candidates should ideally have worked successfully in diverse roles across various industries. If not, a candidate with lesser experience might be able to approach the role with comparatively fresh eyes. Indeed, it is plausible that some people may be inherently more creative than others but it is challenging to authoritatively gauge this through the traditional application process that involves submitting your curriculum vitae with supporting documents, followed by an interview or two. Application processes that include a task that needs to be completed may be able to better assess this but diverse experience will speak for itself.
In conclusion, while it is largely true that hiring experienced candidates is a smart decision, this comes with important caveats. It is just as important to consider, both, the candidates' determination to succeed in a new role and their ability to think creatively. For this, the quality of experience, not just length, is important.
Comments
Although both applicants…
Although both applicants might be qualified for the job through education but experience is the best teacher. Applicants might be qualified as a result of education but might not have the required experience that is needed to perform on the job.
For companies to employee an applicant, experience plays pivotal roles because it is the experience that will count not the qualification. It is possible for an applicant to have a good qualification for a job but without having a prior experience, such applicant will find it very difficult to meet up with the organisation expectation because most of what we are being thought in schools these days are majorly theoretical aspect in which some require practical to be perfect at it so as to meet the organisation objectives and goals.Therefore, experience is far beyond qualification when hiring in an organisation.For example,if an IT company want to employee, they are majorly concerned with what you can do that is what you have to offer them not your qualification because there are many graduates outside that even find it difficult to use ms word, excel and power point perfectly but and experience applicant in the same IT field will operate it perfectly due to the prior experience.
Most of the organisations are not ready to spend their money to train employees these days so they prefer to employee someone that has the experience already since such and individual with reach the company and start to perform due to the prior experience compare to an applicant that will need to undergo some months of training before he/she can be able to perform which serve as an expenses on the company compare to an experienced applicant that do not need any traing before he/she starts to work.
An experienced applicant should be employeed over qualification because experienced individual will have something to bring to the table which will help the company to achieve it goals and objectives. It is very important to employee someone that has experience over qualification since he/she will be able to blend with the culture of the company immediatly when hired due to the previous experience and he/she will be able to contribute the experience had somewhere before coming to the company whem hire.
In conclusion, an organisation should consider to hire someone that has experience over qualification because everybody can have certificate but not everybody can be able to deliver when it comes to translate the lessons learnt to acquire the certificate into practical aspect but someone that has experience will be able to perform immediatly he/she gets into the organisation due to the previous experience.
