Inexperienced, cheap workers vs. experienced, expensive
workers
The labour market today contains plenty well educated people
looking for work. At the same time, fresh graduates are also
searching for jobs and employers have the advantage of choosing
between more or less experienced workers. Regarding the statement
put forward with myself put in a position of being an employer, I
would prefer to hire an inexperienced worker at a lower salary to an
experienced worker representing higher costs. My point of view is
supported by the arguments listed below. First of all, an
inexperienced worker gives the employer an opportunity to shape
the employee in the best interests of the company from day one. No
patterns have already been internalised into the worker, which
means no bad habits to get rid of before introducing the person to
new rules and methods. Second, and obvious enough, the company
can save money by hiring workers at a lower starting salary level.
This also gives the employee more of a chance to use a rise in
payment as an incentive to push inexperienced workers to reach
higher. Despite what is said above, I realise that there are several
cons represented by hiring people who have already worked for a
while, and who knows the way to go about in different businesses.
If their knowledge suits their new work, it could be a huge
advantage for the company. On the other hand, if their backgrounds
tend to be less compatible with their new job, the company would
be better off putting their effort into educating new people to the
job. The topic presented is in my opinion highly debatable, however
I certainly share the point of view that in the evaluation of new
employees one should often prefer the inexperienced worker
instead of the worker holding a lot of experience. Other aspects like
for instance personality should most likely also be taken into
account when hiring the right worker for the right job.
