How Recruiters Actually Read Your Job Hopping Resume

Episode 31 of Job Hopping with Fexingo: Lucas and Luna unpack how recruiters visually scan resumes from job hoppers versus long-tenure candidates. Lucas brings in eye-tracking research from TheLadders showing recruiters spend an average of 7.4 seconds on an initial scan — and how tenure patterns jump out in the first 2 seconds. They discuss a real case from a 2025 LinkedIn study: resumes with five short stints (under 18 months each) were 40% less likely to get a callback than those with three longer roles. Luna challenges whether the stigma applies equally across industries, and they explore strategies like bulleting accomplishments per stint and using a functional resume format. The episode includes a brief, low-key listener support segment at the 75% mark. #Recruiters #JobHopping #Resume #EyeTracking #TheLadders #LinkedIn #CareerAdvice #HiringManager #Tenure #JobSearch #FunctionalResume #CallbackRate #ResumeScanning #Stigma #JobStability #FexingoBusiness #Careers #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
