4 Reasons Why Job Hoppers Are A Good Thing

According to Lou Adler (an internationally known talent management guru), top performers may frequently move on for new challenges, but the short-term gain that they provide may make hiring them worthwhile. Here are four reasons why “Job Jumpers” (as Lou likes to call them) are a good thing:

1. Job jumpers bring best practices and knowledge of your competitors.
2. Job jumpers are adaptable; they learn and build contacts quickly.
3. Job jumpers may have a broader functional perspective.
4. Short-term excellence is better than long-term mediocrity.
