Candidate 1: Flexibility, experience, Networking (has more contacts and more experience)

Candidate 2: Tech Savvy, New fresh Ideas, May be able to start at a lower wage. Able to meet deadlines ffrom home.

I choose Candidate 1, because he has more experience and can bring more projects and more revenues to the chosen company. if we choose candidate 1 we wont have to worry about paying monthly internet services or on paying for a new phone every year and save more money.
