It's a simple case of trend spotting - multiple terminations and the only common factor is the candidate. Either they've just happened to have picked a whole bunch of bad employers, or there is some complication/issue with the candidate themselves that is severe enough that it's caused multiple terminations. As a hiring manager you won't know until you hire them, and if they turn out to be unsuitable (as the data would suggest) then you're back to square one looking for a new candidate so you're taking a real gamble when you hire someone with a resume full of terminations and short stays. In a busy job market like we've had the last couple of years (and arguably before that in a lot of places) you can get away with having a resume like this and use job hopping to boost your income. But IMO long term this gets harder and harder to explain especially if the trend continues especially outside of junior or non-senior/staff type roles.
