If a recently graduate is turned down in an interview because lack of expirence over an expirience candidate is that discrimination? please explain why? 150 word minimum.
Every job position and offer has a lot of analysis done into it. No company posts a job vacancy without having an image of an ideal candidate to take that spot. In this case, we have to assume that for the post the fresh graduate was interviewed might have needed a few years of facing the issues, customers and problems. The fresh graduate might have had better academic record but it could be possible that he has never been in such a demanding situation as the work vacancy demands. It could also be possible that the selected candidate might have had experience of working in such situation. In reality, he would be a closer match to the ideal candidate profile the company was looking for.
Most companies often have a fixed budget for any role and vacancy they offer. If more than candidate is available, the hiring is forced to select one of them. In this case, it could have been the experienced candidate the company felt was a better prospect to the role. On the other side, if the fresh graduate was a better fit, he would have been selected over others.
