I've noticed a lot of negativity lately about hiring people that leave a job after 1-2 years.

This usually comes from HR or from interviewers who say that it “doesn’t look good”.

Here's what they are missing:

If an employee is "job hopping", it indicates something is wrong with the previous company, not the employee.

Employees don't leave jobs where they are being compensated fairly, they have growth opportunities, and the culture is healthy.

With the way Gen Z operates, we are lucky if we can even get one year out of them. With the younger generation, they are very spoiled and if one thing doesn't go there way then they want to quit so I have to disagree

like

I have my frustrations with some of the younger crowd. I have not experienced what you are saying with my younger direct reports. All of them have been very hard working and committed individuals.

As an older Gen-Zer, I left my toxic company after just 1yr 4mos. Many colleagues plan to quit due to burnout and disengagement. Prioritizing mental health is more important than avoiding resume gaps. I was a top performer, with positive evaluations even while working weekends. My two managers offered to provide references.

It could also be that they can’t hold a job for long periods. It can go both ways.

like

But wouldn’t them holding that job for at least 2 years going as long periods? And what if they had contracts that were expiring shortly?

Also isn't this just the nature of how the new generations (millennial and Z) approach jobs?

like

Data has pointed out that millennials have jumped less frequently than their Gen X counterparts.

Or.. too much job hopping can show a lack of good judgment? If the last 5 jobs in 3 years were not a fit for you(no contract jobs), maybe you make poor decisions? Maybe you are not doing research on your employers? Maybe you have commitment issues? It's not always the employer or managers fault!! Take some responsibility for your actions..

like

I get more managers, not interested in candidates, due to jumping than anything else.(If the skill set is correct). Most leaders hate spending all their time interviewing. So they want employees to stay longer.

I look at it in terms of time and training. It takes 12 to 18 months to get someone where I need them to be. While I appreciate their hustle, it’s just not worth my time when a history is there.

Since I pivoted into TA (from the Wild West known as Finance) Tech Recruiting has always been the goal.

I may be low on the experience side so I’m willing to look at contract/ entry roles as well. Also, any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
