In the past, there’s been a stigma against job hoppers—why hire somebody who might not stay long? But there’s a lot more to job hoppers than meets the eye. On this episode of the HR Mavericks podcast, we talked to Necole Jones, HR director at Webhelp, about why companies shouldn’t shy away from hiring job hoppers. Necole compared job hoppers to grasshoppers; both are fearless and forward-thinking. While you may not know why somebody has switched jobs quickly, you should definitely be aware of what they could bring to the table.
We talked about:
What the term “job hopper” means
How at-will employment applies to employees too
Generational differences in the way we approach work
Reasons people might have for changing jobs
The importance of a paycheck in determining if people stay at their jobs
How to boost retention (without focusing on candidates’ employment history)
What companies miss out on when they refuse to hire job hoppers
