I have another question related to hiring candidates and what most hiring managers value more. Historically, I've placed a high value on loyalty. Employees that have shown tenure throughout their career 5+ years throughout their employment history; however, it seems now that there is a greater value on breadth of experience and that loyalty/tenure, are no longer valued as much by hiring managers. Is 1-2 years at a larger volume of companies preferred?
If so, can you provide supporting arguments for why this is a better. To me, it would seem that this is indicative of job hopping and that if I hired someone with broader experience and shorter tenure at each position, that I would run the risk of losing this employees just as they begin to provide a return on the investment I've made in training them and getting them proficient for the hired role. Again, I'm curious of the perspective of others.
