My father has 15+ years of experience as a Senior Full Stack Engineer/Tech Lead. In the last 2 years, he worked in multiple companies across Delhi, Faridabad, and Gurugram, along with freelancing so there is no gap.

However, HR assumes a “2-year gap” due to short-term roles and rejects him. He is skilled and hardworking. Why is real experience ignored? Any advice? Help me

As I can understand, 15+ years of experience is a lot as a full stack developer but since the era is shifting towards Artificial intelligence your father should work on upskilling... That might be the reason for not getting opportunities and projects as a freelancer.
Please ask your father to learn atleast the automation part so that he can grab relatable opportunities.
You musy have heard about the layoffs and recruitment of AI enthusiasm people.... This had to happen because now a days people wants results or you can say result driven tasks..... Please ask him to up-skill otherwise no one is gonna entertain especially in vibe coding era......

15+ years of experience does not need to explain about such small gaps.
There could be some other issues.
These tricks are used to make fool of less experience people and these doesn't work for 15 and 20 years of experience.
I think they would expect different kind of skills, which includes leadership skills management skills etc.
As per my understanding, a person with 15-20 years of experience will have ability to show the 2 years gap as a huge positive point by presenting it as experience which he couldn't get otherwise. Like when you work on freelancing, you have to manage not only the technical deliverables but you will have to manage many different things.
As said it's all about how do you communicate, or for what position did you apply.

Does it happened with all hr or only with the one he?
