Experienced candidates bring proven expertise, faster onboarding, and industry knowledge but may resist innovation and command higher salaries. Conversely, candidates with potential offer adaptability, fresh ideas, and long-term growth opportunities but require more training and managerial effort. Both approaches have distinct advantages and challenges, making the choice dependent on the role and organizational needs. Join Katy Murray, Human Resources Manager & Executive Administrator at Army Navy Country Club, to learn about how the ideal strategy often lies in balancing the two, leveraging experience for technical or senior roles while nurturing potential for entry-level or growth-oriented positions. A focus on cultural fit, robust onboarding, and mentorship programs can create dynamic, innovative teams that align with your company’s values and goals. Registration for Chamber members is free.
