Who would you hire an employee with a lot of experience or an employee with a lot of education?

The answer to this question is purely specific to the job you are recruiting for, the salary you are willing to offer, and the skills needed.  If your budget is below market...you will be looking for a new graduate that has a degree and no experience.  If you can afford to pay above market you may get candidates with both the skill and experience.  I don't need a candidate with a PhD and no experience to sell shoes...I need a good salesman/woman with experience.  Likewise I don't necessarliy need an experienced Social Worker to make home visits.

Thanks

In my opinion , no doubt i need employee with a lot of experience

This depends on the position itself, of course experience is important but anyhow, each position requires certain level of education. The more experience is the more practical solutions, and the more education js the more theoretical solutions. And both are part of success.

Let's define the terms education and experience to get the clear picture here:

Education is the knowledge about the subjects in the most theoretical sense; the one you acquire from text book or by doing practical work in a laboratory set up, or in the most ideal work environment.

Experience is the time you have spent, or the opportunities you had to practically implement with the knowledge you have acquired from College; mostly in a non-ideal work environment, where the chances of error may cost money or your reputation.

Now answer to the question, which is more important? I would say both are important. One must have a minimum theoretical knowledge to begin with. It is the foundation stone, from where you can build further with confidence.

While I agree with most of the answers here, I believe what Mr. Carlo Piraino is said here is more relevant for employer who is looking for the right candidate: “I don't need a candidate with a PhD and no experience to sell shoes”

thanks

 You must know That I-have a little experience and not as you think, but I'll give you my viewpoint only, for me I prefer the experience because the employee with experience offers me  several ideas to solve any  problem in  work, as similar cases were already gone through him before and under the conditions occurring in the problem so he can react at any moment.

but the employee with education, he joined his studies in solving these problems but if he was faced with a small problem it will officially blocked.

but what I wanted to say  that it is better to have employees with education and experience

In another case (my case), I was accepted to work in a direction which my diploma does not depend on this feature, but I decided to understand better and have much informations of this work and  in very short time. which has given me the chance to approve my abilities in this work and also to go away :

 to get the position of the operating office manager of basic infrastructure and road safety and the thing I need you to know that the education can make the experience and the experience also can even improve the knowledge of employees

so if you have a level of education you will enjoy having this knowledge and integrate it  into other areas without fear and I will be sure that  your experience will develop quickly.

This is a viewpoint  

Thank you  again for your question

The very first answer is " It depends". In a work place the man who has the knowledge  or experience is vital for a work place.An experience man can advice quickly the correct way to get the work done. Obviously the education also matters, though one cannot avoid to have experienced man in the work place.

In some cases this is not true to be strict, hiring a man often justifies the decision to require an educational qualification on experience. Because an educated man has the ability to go into the problem and suggest the solution. They may be intelligent enough to go into the problem and solve accordingly.An educated man can be a good emploee over the years of experience. A qualified man can start his career with a required degree, then experience will increasingly provide opportunity for further development of that person.

An experience man can do a work by his experience and likely to teach others why a particular work does not work , but the qualified man can give others the theoretical knowledge and subsequently let others know why it does not work.

However this topic is debatabale.

it is dependent on level and salary and with my plan are he come a leader or assisit to be future leader

 

Experienced availabe than preference go to experience only. Thanks.

If I have to hire only one employee, then I will surely go for a person, who has a lot of experience. 

It’s totally depends on requirement which you have if suppose you hire experience people than where educated people will go.

 For an example, if i will have to make a team than i will give chance to educated people and hire one experienced team leader for mange the team.

I would rather choose an employee with a lot of experience. Why? Because the one that you've learned from school is just an additional tool or guide. Somewhat like a theory. However, if you are well experienced you already practiced that theory. Already know the pros and cons of that theory and by then the well experienced are much more careful on their job.
