(an employee who is) both experienced and well-qualified
an employee who is as experienced as he is well-qualified.
I think it is difficult to bring in a more accurate translation of vielseitig without it sounding awkward and long winded in English.
You could try something like "he is experienced and has a broad range of (appropriate) qualifications" or "he will bring both his experience adn his broad range of qualifications" but both sound a bit wordy to me.

: I like this variant. I have to defend my own answer by saying that for me well-qualified does not necessarily refer only to formal qualifiactions but having the appropriate skills and training too
