The recruiter's perspective

The recruiter's perspective

So you're looking for a job and need to explain to a recruiter why you've been job-hopping. 

First, you need to understand job-hopping from the recruiter's point of view. A recruiter sees job-hopping as a red flag. They're concerned that you will ditch the company six months later. To effectively explain job-hopping to a recruiter, you need to revise your work history by filling in the gaps.

What a recruiter wants to know

For each job, a recruiter wants to know

  • What you've learned
  • What you've experienced
  • How you grew your skills
  • Why you left your job.

Walk the recruiter through your job-hopping history by talking about what you learned and how you learned even more at the next job. Then state that you are now clear in the value you can bring and what you want in a job and that you are currently looking to stay put and do a good job.
