Topic: 67
According to my experience, I prefer to hire an experienced worker at a higher salary. I like to use following reasons to explain why I think so.
The first and important reason is that experienced workers themselves mean higher efficiency. I remember the words say, “ Time is money”. An experienced worker just can meet this demand. Such as, many factories now adopt the system that worker’s salary will depend on the number of their qualified products. In such case, although some experienced workers can get very high salaries, considered the potential profit made by those products, I prefer to employ those experienced workers.
Another equally important reason is that experienced workers mean less accident at the workshop. Now people’s insurance consciousness becomes stronger and stronger. If the accidents happened, the employer will pay enormous compensation fee for injured workers. As for the apprentice, the accidents are very easily caused and almost inevitable only because he/she has no enough work experiences. In effect, the factory or company can fully avoid these accidents and unnecessary financial loss through hiring experienced employees.
Moving on to the wider theme, experienced workers are also the pledge of factories and companies’ ability. Now people have gradually realized that experienced worker, that is so-called talents, will be the most important factor for the enterprise’s future prosperity. Such as, many famous companies prefer to provide more attractive welfare than other companies in order to get their ideal talents, and then keep themselves long stable development.
Of course, as far as saving enterprise’s expense is concerned, a lower salary may be a better appeal for some companies or factories. But if all the factors are contemplated, the advantages of experienced workers carry more weight than those of inexperienced workers.
There are many other reasons that should be considered, but all in all, I rather hire an experienced employee at a higher salary than employ an inexperienced worker at a lower salary.

When it comes to whether an employer should hire workers with less experiences and lower pay, or to hire experienced workers with a higher salary, since there are always advantages and disadvantages of the two, and there are always different situations, my personal option is that different strategy should be applied for different situations.
For situations where basic and simple jobs which requires less training, and cutting down the cost is important for the survival of the business, I would prefer to hire someone who has less experience, and willing to work under a lower pay. For example, a factory should hire more inexperienced laborers to work on the part of the plant where less skill but more physical strength is needed; and a restaurant owner should hire a cheaper kitchen hand rather than more chefs to cut down the cost of operation.
On the other hand, for situations when more knowledge and skills is crucial for a job, I would tend to hire someone who is more experienced and would rather pay more salary. Training an inexperienced person for an advanced position can cost a great deal of money, and a mistake an inexperienced makes sometimes can bring disaster to a company. Therefore an experienced personnel is a valuable asset for a business. Sometimes the value cannot be measured by money.
A company may lost millions of dollars of revenue when some important positions are vacant and it has to look for someone who is qualified or take a lot of time to train a new person.
In conclusion, when we decide whether to hire a inexperienced, cheaper worker or an experienced, but more expensive worker, it is always depend on the nature of the business and the position, the amount of training required, and of course, the employers’ personal preferences.

If I were an employer, I would be glad to hire an inexperienced worker at a lower salary. My reasons are as follows:
First, those who can accept the lower salary are those not care too much about money, what they care the most is personal development. The success and failure of a company are correlated to employees' attitude, a success company needs some men with the heart that eager to success.
Second, inexperienced men are always modest and friendly, they like to learn and listen to others opinion or suggestion, so they can improve their working skills by accept some right opinions. These are two important characteristics of a good employee, not only they can bring success business to the company but also can set up a good company impression to the public.
Third, those inexperienced employees are mostly just graduated from school. They are active and enthusiastic, to some extent, they prefer working together as a team to working alone. teamwork can speed up the working efficiency and also make the company fill with energy.
Since there are so many advantages, why not hire inexperienced guys!

Some employers prefer to hire people who have work experiences and pay them higher salaries.
They may think that if they want to make a success in business, they have to do so. If I were an employer, however, I would rather hire the inexperienced employees and paid them a relatively lower salaries. I do not care about whether experiences an employee has or not, I really care about the cost. Besides, it needs not only experiences to do a job well and experienced workers may not definitely be suitable to certain job position.
Hiring an experienced employee to do a job that he has experienced means that he can easily make the job done or do it efficiently. But here is the problem. I am a poor boss. As a young man, I have not earned much money myself. The experienced worker always asks too high salary to afford at my present financial condition. If I managed to pay employees higher salaries, it would probably push me to close my business eventually. So, I need to hire the inexperienced workers
with lower salaries to cut down the cost of my business.
To run business well, I have to consider a lot of other factors of an employee, not only the employee’s experience. Is the employee loyal to me? Could he probably cheat me in business operation? I really concern with these questions. If he chose to be not loyal to me or chose to cheat me at work, the experiences he has would be useless for my business. Considering of this, I would rather hire a worker who is inexperienced but loyal to me and trustworthy.
An employee who has a lot of experiences does not always mean that he is just suitable to an assigned job. Someone who has experiences does not mean that he has experienced just this present job. His experiences are simply related with his former jobs. Everything can be changed over time and the needs for the same job can be changed, too. So, if I hired an experienced worker, perhaps I would still have to train him for just the present job again. Thus, if I have to train an experienced employee and pay him higher salary, why not train an inexperienced
employee and pay him lower salary, now that I have to train any employee anyway? The cost of training is just the same, but the salaries I have to pay later are different: the former is higher; the latter, lower. Anyone who has normal sense will definitely choose the latter: the inexperienced but cheaper employee.
In short, taking the cost, the suitability and the loyalty and honesty of employees into consideration, if I were an employer, I would definitely hire the inexperienced employees and pay them lower salaries.
