Why do recruiters care why I left a job over 6 years ago/two jobs ago? I answer but I genuinely can't think of a reason why a job that long ago matters when I have relevant recent experience but every recruiter specifically asks.

I always answer, but it’s wild how much they fixate on something from years and years ago when I’ve grown so much since. Like, shouldn't my recent wins speak louder? Feels like they’re digging for red flags instead of looking at the full picture.

Even if there is a red flag... it's been years lol

I've always wondered these same things. They'll ask why you left a job a decade ao when it really doesn't matter. I don't know why they ask it to be honest with you.
