Why Scraper candidate deserves to be considered for a position?

Two candidates, both with the same basic qualifications

Silver Spoon candidate A

Candidate A has been offered more and better opportunities throughout their life. Candidate A has a degree from an Ivy League school, has held a 4.0 GPA, great recommendations, and overall a flawless resume.

Scraper candidate B

Candidate B has the same degree from a less prestigious State College, a fair amount of job-hopping, and has held several odd jobs. Hartley categorizes both of these candidates into two groups, Silver Spoons, and Scrappers.

Why someone with a less prestigious background, deserves to be considered for a position? The Scrapper is someone who has had to fight for where they are and dealt with adversity. The Scrapper is someone that already knows how to bear through tough times and is accustomed to overcoming the odds. The Silver Spoon, while not necessarily unable to deal with adversity, is just not as experienced in doing so.
