How well do experience levels predict future job performance? What are some potential explanations for this relationship?

• Work experience has always formed a strong base for HR professionals in reviewing candidates for open positions but surprisingly little is known about its exact role in predicting job performance
• experience is measured by the number of years in a role, which forms a base in deciding future job performance
• A employers expectation from the candidate tend to increase as he becomes more experienced
• internal and external recruiters target individuals in competitor organizations that have performed the same role as the role they are sourcing
• This helps them in save training costs as that individual is already trained
