There are some issues that some companies do not hire applicants who are over qualified. They tend to discourage them to continue the hiring process. Any thoughts about it?

They always feel that those candidates would allow pride to set into their work because they would be likely be more qualified than any other person in the organisation.

At some point, they do hire them. There are some cases that it does not happened. They consider them as a threat.

You can hire over qualified applicant but you also need to offer better pay. if you can't don't hire.
You have a point. Most of these qualified applicants demand a higher payer. It is acceptable that they can decline the job offer and find another companies to apply.

There are different reasons for this, to some companies they feel they won't be able to pay these candidates what they are truly worth.

The rate of unemployment have even made people that are over qualified to agree to come down from their lofty heights and work at conditions that don't match their qualifications.
