I'd again have to disagree on using experience as a measuring tool of anything. I think instead of experience, you mean proficiency or competency (hope I'm not putting words into your keyboard). I'm sure we can all think of people we've known or worked with in the past that were "experienced" but not competent to perform the tasks that were part of their job. At least I can. Part of my work is made possible by those fine individuals :). 

Very true.  I don't think it is the only criteria, but indeed it is a better 
one.
My approach is to look for *professionalism*. The word is out of fashion nowadays, but I've found it makes a huge difference when the person I'm dealing with has a professional approach to the job, whatever it might be.
