If I may, and this is a general consideration, not necessarily applying to this specific case, there is often a "mislabeling" of seniority as "experience". They are not the same thing. Now explaining that to a HR might be an issue, but while it is clear that two years are different from ten, eight years in a given role/position in a "dynamic" firm - possibly a small one where you have to deal with a multitude of different problems - might be equivalent (or at least it is equivalent in my mind) to fifteen or more years in a big firm/highly structured multinational where the same role/position revolves around doing only what is on the paper.
