Exactly. In fact, I look at companies as Candidate hoppers. In the US, it is employment at will which means they can fire me anytime (except a few circumstances which could land them in legal trouble). So nothing wrong being a job hopper in today's market. But until you stay at one company, give them your best. Do not be married. May be if there were pension plans anymore. May be if their really was something known as job security. It is a myth.
- malandrew 14y agoUpvote for the term "candidate hoppers". That word should enter the vernacular. The one thing I particularly like about the startup world is this rare focus on hiring the best and creating an environment that shows you value employees. One of the easiest ways to determine whether a company is a candidate hopper is to see how the quality of life is at the company. If it is low, it means that they aren't trying hard enough in general to try to keep people around.
- yashchandra 14y ago@ malandrew. thanks and yes. You can easily spot a candidate hopper by how they treat their employees, consultants etc. It is so sad that many of the giant corporations that I have worked for so far are in that category. Yes you might have a great boss or co-workers but overall, the culture of the company reflects and disappoints.
