This is a case where it may benefit a candidate to disclose any disabilities leading to such an erratic employment pattern. I don’t proceed with candidates who cannot explain excessively frequent job hops because it signals that they can’t hold a job due to factors I’d want to avoid hiring, like incompetence or a difficult personality. It’s a totally different matter if the candidate justified their erratic employment due to past medical issues that have since been treated.
- burkaman 4y agoI think the point of this guidance is that "hiring AI" is not actually intelligent and will not be able to read and understand a note about disability on a resume. It will just dumbly match date ranges to an ideal profile and throw out resumes that are too far off.
- padolsey 4y ago>medical issues that have since been treated And what if they haven't been? Disability isn't usually a temporary thing or even necessarily medical in nature (crucial to see disability as a distinct axis from illness!). Hiring with biases against career fluctuations is, I'm afraid to point out, inherently ableist. And it should not be beholden on the individual to map their experienced inequities and difficulties across to every single employer.
