Do hiring managers prefer to see candidates have at least 2 years at any given job on their resume?

It depends…I think a lot do. But also, a girl that got hired at my old job has had many jobs that she was at for less than two years. And I recently got hired at a new place and I had less than two years at my previous job. But also, this new job is a huge step up so that’s a good reason to leave before two years. Every situation is different. It’s all case by case.

We just fired someone in their probationary period because he was an absolute a*****e, his resume was filled with short-term jobs (4-12 months)... you bet the hiring manager will be steering clear of resumes filled with short-term gigs from now on.

If they’re all promotions then seems like good reasons, if not then just seems like job hopping and wouldn’t give me any confidence that employee would be any different this time around

What do you suggest I say to overcome that concern, if all the jobs are indeed same level?

I’ve been at my current role a little over a year and a half (started January 2023). Is that “good enough”?

I think so. Especially if you are early career and won’t require a ton of specialized training.

I tell new hires that I expect them to stay for at least two years before I’ll help them move elsewhere in the company. It takes 4-6 months to really train someone on my team plus 2-4 months to hire, so this seems like a reasonable ask.

This is very handy wavy though- I just helped my #1 developer move to a higher level development team within my company with 1.5 years on my team.

It’s more about overall resume. Nothing but under 1 years, probably going to pass. A few longer stints but current job is less than a year, that’s fine. So over a year at current employer, it’s probably fine.

I dont really care how long they've stayed with a specific company if they have a good explanation for why they're jumping around

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
