I didn't think gaps play a role in the hiring process but talent did. When you are interviewing a person he/she should tell their stories of everything and that should be the point where you have to decide whether to take them or not. There are several reasons which can be overlooked for long gaps. if you think the person meets your standards hire them.

Yes, I avoid hiring job seekers with gaps in employment when gaps affect their experience and their job performance. Especially in jobs like sales and marketing, they may not be close to the market and its progress.

Need Capital for your project without tying it up or giving away huge equity? This guaranteed LC issuing and funding platform works. We don't tie up your project. You can still borrow now with equity. $75,000.00 issuance fee bonded by a large real estate development company opens up the first $540,000.00. If you need more repeat the process on a larger basis. We provide both sides of the equation the Letter of Credit Issuance and the Funding Partner.

I will avoid not all cases.  I will check first the reasons  for the long gap. Some reasons i can understand that the job seeker is not serious in his career continuity, career development or very casual in profession  and if i find him not having updated work knowledge , if he is in need of some training,  i will ofcourse avoid him be recruited.   Some job seekers hav  some genuine personal reasons  for the long gap but having updated work knowledge , very focus, passion to achieve...  i will ofcourse try to recruit him if his profile matches my requirement.

Actually, If the duration of Gap is longer which might affect his performance then we may avoid only otherwise gap is not a negative indicator. Other credentials and skills outweigh the hiring and considering that profile. We are human being and professionals so multiple requirements are always attached with us which create GAP sometimes.

Maybe we didn't  shortlist him/her but if applicant seems strong candidate then we'll do interview him to find the rational reasons behind the gaps. Maybe there are few genuine ones. Do consider.
