Do you hire experienced people too? I someone has 35 years, does it makes sense to judge them on school results and extracurricular engagement?

These are people who were in workforce 10+ years.

You are correct to observe that what I listed is primarily relevant to people who have less experience. While prevalent, that's not exclusively the demographic of our applications, and of course the weight of these factors is reduced for someone who has been in the workforce for longer. But they remain good predictors nonetheless.
