In hiring there is a concept of being over qualified. The concern is the hire will view the job as temporary and quickly move on to something else.
In my line of work it's hard to find someone over qualified so it's not really something I've personally dealt with. If you're in a big organization an overqualified candidate might eventually find other internal opportunities and that isn't a bad thing. Unless there is a massive skill mismatch it's not something I'd worry much about.
I wouldn’t even say they are over qualified. One board member didn’t want to offer a job after 2 great interviews because she probably makes more already and will just tell us no. He even said she’s his top choice.
Another board wants to hire a guy because of who is recommending him to us. Even though he doesn’t seem to be a fit at all. He’s the easy hire though

I've never understood what does it matter if they say no? Then you just move on to the next one but if they say yes then you are set.

Do you have calcium in them?
Not sure what you mean, so probably not. I'm saying that on average you would think I would get some easy ones where I don't have to squat all the way down to fill up the tire, but somehow that never happens.
