Does age matter in hiring an employee? Why?

It depends on what the job demands. If the job involves young energy then young professionals or interns are hired. And when the Job needs experienced individual definitely the older individuals are hired. As you can't get 30 yrs of experience from a 25 yr old, is it? And in the same way the level of energy and grasping power from a 45 yr old.

in some certain jobs, yes

but to be fair enough, as long as the candidate can do the tasks and having enough experience , so, it's OK

Yes it does. Companies look for young people with more knowledge to make them assets for their organizations for a long run.

Thanks

Yes, sometimes, on some positions, such as Sales Representative,some hard works,....

If aged employees are hired, it's because of their experience and their expertise. If young ones are hired, that is due to their energy and innovation.

Yes bt it depends on the type of work

Thanks for invitation, I do believe that, It is a matter of "Job Description".

Unfortunately in some countries age matters a lot and people who reached their 40s find it very hard to find a job regardless of their experience. Of course it's a sick stereotype but it happens.

Thank you for calling theage of appropriate staffing is very important, and affect the performance of the staff member for example I can not employ a staff member in the creativity, for example, beyond the 50-year-old age, for example.
