They know as well as you do that you will not stay any longer than necessary to find a better fit.
In my opinion, being told someone is "overqualified" isn't a detriment on the candidate; it's more of an excuse for the potential employer to use language for denial that won't get them in trouble. For example, if you've been in med sales since 2005, the potential employer won't say "you're too old", they'll say "you're overqualified" without giving actual evidence/justification on their denial.

I have been told I am overqualified too many times.. even when I desperately need a job
This keeps happening to me as well. I have been looking for a new job for 8 months now and can't seem to find anything. It has become so frustrating.
The exact same thing happening to me I’ve got a very good education and a strong background a very long history and I can’t even get an interview.
Most organizations don't want to hire someone only to replace them shortly afterward. And that's what usually happens if someone overqualified comes on board. As soon as another opportunity comes along they're gone and the hiring process has to start over. Better to hire someone who will grow in the job and stick around.

From what I have seen, it is fear. Employers worry you will leave quickly, challenge decisions, or get bored. It is rarely about pay. I try to reassure them about motivation and stability.
