Dear All,
I was going through a lot of you all expert's discussions about the conflict between experience & qualifications. I have a very lively example, one of my cousins who is a bachelor of Arts (Special History) by education is presently working as a project manager in a private limited company manufacturing PLC's widely used for automatons and he is very successful in his life. We can't put any hard and fast rule to address this issue. The followings can be some of the criterias which should be referred at the time of such conflicts :
01. Jab nature of vacancy
02. Age group of other subordinates where this vacancy is available
03. Job Profile like years of experience required, age group etc.
04. Other skills required like communication, problem solving skills, analytical skills etc.
In most of the companies, the top persons are not interested in these types of issues since they needs results. But these types of issues should be handled carefully by HR guy, since he has to see that the atmosphere of the company shall not disturb due to these types of recruitments.
By the way, many times we can't judge one's performance, until and unless we put the person on the job.
