Recruiters Say 2 Career Red Flags No Longer Derail Hiring

Summary
Recruiters say job hopping and résumé gaps have lost much of their stigma, especially for millennials and younger workers shaped by a volatile labor market.
Hiring managers increasingly view moves between firms as a practical financial and career decision, not a sign of disloyalty or instability.
That shift reflects weaker expectations of long-term mutual commitment between employers and employees across many sectors.
Résumé gaps can now be framed in interviews as part of a candidate’s story rather than treated automatically as a hiring risk.
