In this segment, Eric Siu advises hiring managers—particularly in agency settings—to view frequent job‑hopping (changing jobs every one to two years) as a red flag indicating potentially poor performance. He explains that onboarding typically takes about six months, with another six months to a year needed to assess a new hire’s fit, meaning a two‑year tenure is often the minimum period to gauge competence. Siu recommends prioritizing candidates who have stayed at a company for three to six+ years and who have earned multiple promotions (ideally two or more), as these signals suggest the employee was valued and capable. The overall message is to favor candidates with longer tenure and demonstrable advancement over those who frequently change jobs.
