"I don’t care that you worked at Subway for six weeks when you were nineteen."
Unfortunately if you don't, you'll get people asking you "what were you doing in 2009??"
Because apparently the thought of giving someone a job who might have once not had one, regardless of their relevant skills, is the worst thing a recruiter can think of.

If you had a gap you might decide to have another. Regular employees get offers from competitors and use that to get salary upgrades. Gap-enabled employees do not need the offers and can just leave your company whenever they want.
