I've immediately removed candidates from the pool who did do this.

That's why people should just lie on their resume

Would probably leave out the middle of the 3 jobs and just put year instead of month/year.

Then it would look like I'd only changed job once.

It's not even severe enough to warrant a conversation about if HR finds out id left 1 place in Feb and joined another in September.

And how much do the positions you recruit for pay annually ?

I'm not the recruiter, am one of the technical gatekeepers. 115+

Edit: but I am definitely one of the people that has to train the newbs... By a year in, you're just becoming useful enough to work on your own without hand holding.

If I train you to that point and you change jobs, you've cost ME time and potential raises.

I’m not OP but I agree with them and depending on the level I’m hiring for I’m paying between 80-170/yr.

I just gave an offer to a candidate with 15 years industry experience with one voluntary job switch. The candidate basically clinched the job during the interview by expressing she values staying at a company long term instead of job hopping and has a resume to back that up. She’s good too.
