As a sales recruiter, how do you view candidates who are applying while only being 3 months into a role post-grad?

As a Sales Recruiter, my view on candidates applying just 90 days into a post-grad role would require meticulous thoughts and approach.
This is so because; 1. why would they be willing to leave so soon? 2. What hands on approach aligns with their skills in the new opportunity? 3. What motivated their decision to move; did they adapt in that role, did they take a look on the clarity of their careers to know if it's drifting towards a long-term/ even a short-term as to help me determine if its a genuine move/ a red flag considering their swift shift towards finding a better opportunity.

It depends on the story. If you can explain what you learned and why the role is not a fit without blaming, I would not see it as a red flag. Silence is worse than honesty.

found a role i’m really interested in and came across a post about it from hiring manager with a “reach out if you’re interested”. I’ve got a few connections to the company - is it better to try to go through someone I’m connected with in a different department and try to get referred, or just jump on the hiring manager’s post and reach out to them cold?
