You may have 5 years experience - but it was at another company, doing something else.

He didn't say he was doing something else. Becoming an engineer is almost as long winded as becoming a doctor. If someone mentions their experience whilst applying for a job, it's very likely that the experience is in engineering, and not only that, in a very specific field of engineering, unless of course, they're looking to change field.
So, I'd agree with you if someone had 5 years experience in something that had nothing to do with his new job, but generally this applies to all companies in all countries. What good would 5 years experience in Accounting do, if someone was applying for an IT job?!
