I hire people where I work. Nothing fancy, just pest control, but I don't give a fuck. If you're licensed and seem decent as a human I'll give it a go. Worst case scenario is you suck, in which case you're fired pretty quickly on your own merit and I hire someone else. There are so many smaller companies out there in nearly every industry and they're ran by normal people with normal fucked up lives like most of us.
I've been fortunate to end up where I am and what I do but all my employees have fierce loyalty to me simply for being normal and treating them like maybe they're normal too and I hate seeing things like this because even these big corporate jobs are still being ran by people going home and having normal human problems. I don't understand why so many jobs have entry barriers that exclude shit like, "shit happens, sorry for being poor?"
Hope that makes sense. I'm rambling but I also had a shitty day with work and came home and drank. So fuck judgement.
I have had to do a decent amount of hiring over the years for my own corner the corporate meat grinder. I personally don't care about a gap unless the gap is too big. A big gap allows for a lot of rust to build, so it becomes a bit of a calculation of how much rust needs to get knocked off and if it's fine for this position if it takes longer to get productive. If they're still pretty sharp then the gap is no issue, and if they're really rusty then that can be a problem depending.
I interviewed a guy not long ago with a 3-year gap. No fault of his own, the economy sucks, so I didn't hold it against him. But despite knowing there was a technical interview coming up and knowing what skills we were looking for, the dude didn't put any effort into studying before my interview and he bombed pretty darn hard. Which is a shame because on paper he would've been an amazing candidate otherwise.
Anyways all of that is to say that sometimes a gap brings other stuff too, so a gap to me is a sign to look for that other stuff.
