There are good reasons why a person might choose to take a job with a lower level
of responsibility than they’ve had in the past. If you find yourself making assumptions
about the person’s motivation, check them out at the interview, or call the person
and make sure they understand that the job will not be at a higher level than advertised.
Don’t assume that holding a higher-level job necessarily means that a person can do
lower-level tasks. You need to assess each person’s qualifications for this position.
If the person’s application suggests that they can do the job, hire the best-qualified
person.
