HR will use Total experience requierment as experience in every field. Hr don't have to know if the last hyped js Framework was out for 8 mounth or 12 years. We need 8 years senior with those skill, is translate to 8 years in those skill. | |

When he got to the interview and during it, the company people figured that their HR posted the job requirment as 8 years experience in technology X, while technology X has been out for 2 years ... (he got the job) | |
