Dear tanya,
I think, if both are equally good in term of qualification and skills there must be some thing different between them like their past achievement record, the way they handle problems,their aims in future any thing which makes one candidate more appropriate for this post.. but I 'll wait experts to come and share their experience to answer your query completely.

so many times, I found the same situation in selection process.
I experimented some methods and found good results of it. same method is for you:
List down two simple questions
Like
"what is result of two plus two ?"
"when all colors are mixed in equal proportion, the resulting color will be ?"
Call both together and query them. Give them 1 minute to think over it.
Let them to arrange answering sequences.
Offer "any one can speak" may be you or you first"
observe their politeness, hurry for answer, utilization of words, how they present their answer ?
see their face expressions, body Language/ postures.
as you know 2 plus 2 is always "four".
final color will be "black".
now you can judge the situation according to their manipulation and gestures.
Thanks

Three things that are required for carrying out any job are Knowledge, Skills, and Attitude (ethical, Learning to learn, and Motivation, etc). The candidates are found to be equally good in the first two aspects and hence, one has to assess the differences/similarities for the 3rd factor.

Well, if both are good in "Marketing Manager"..why not hire both of them....Marketing is Oxygen for any business right. More you have better you will live.
On the second thought, if we want to hire only one, then I would choose amongst them who would really gels out well with the existing team in office and who will be able to match with wave length as others.
Just a thought.

During the process of the interview/selection criteria I would have evaluated who was short, crisp and precise in answer, one who didn't beat around the bush before coming to the final conclusion of his views. The person who talks to the point and is straightfoward would be my choice.
