Many hiring teams will look at an experienced person as “too experienced” and won’t even offer the job to an otherwise good candidate. They justify it by saying things like “this position is too junior for them and they’ll just leave when they get bored/find a better position”, etc.
- sokoloff 4y agoThat’s another apparent sub-optimization. “We’ve been looking for a while and we’d rather keep looking than make a level-Y offer to this good candidate.” If the candidate says “I’m only taking this to avoid starving but will quit as soon as I find any other job”, then sure, don’t make the offer. If they don’t give any signs either way, assume they’ll stay for 18-48 months as is common and decide accordingly.
