It costs money and effort to hire someone and train them. If someone is overqualified, it typically means they're settling for a lesser job than they should in order to bridge a short-term gap in employment, with the intention of moving on when the right job shows up.
So the employer has to go through all the hassle of re-filling the job, losing the productivity of a trained worker, etc. It's actually very expensive.
The ideal employee is someone who is reasonably well qualified by still sees the job as challenging and interesting enough to grow in.

You're reading I'm fairly young and don't have much experience in the business world. So I'm wondering, why would an employer not hire someone due to them being over-qualified? If they were over-qualified, shouldn't that be a GOOD thing for the company?
