CRE Recruiting founder and principal Allison Weiss agreed that, ultimately, a hiatus or detour on a résumé is less likely than ever to be a red flag for an employer. "I have had clients in the past who’ve been really sensitive to movement," she said. "They want to see a certain number of years of experience. That becomes more difficult to come by with every passing year."

CRE Recruiting principal and founder Allison Weiss said that as a recruiter, her job is to help companies scale and grow in a sustainable way, and to help candidates take the next steps in their careers.

"Of course I help clients who come to me with a need, but I’m also proactively meeting people and networking with new candidates or clients," she said. "You just never know when you’ll make a new connection."

According to CRE Recruiting principal and founder Allison Weiss, one of the most practical things a company can do when they find a good fit is to pick up the pace.

“The most successful clients that I work with are decisive and fast-moving when they find the candidate they like,” she said. “Moving quickly — not dragging out the interview process but trying to combine as many meetings as possible to avoid long delays — can help people overcome some of the challenges of a tight talent market.”
