What is an Employment Gap?
Essentially an employment gap is a space of time unaccounted for between jobs. Many of us may have small gaps in our professional careers – a lot of the time it’s pretty normal, especially if you change jobs or decide to pursue a different career direction.
A short gap between longer terms of employment is not usually regarded as much to worry about for the majority of companies. After all, we are all human. Anything more than a few months tends to be regarded as more of a problem gap that needs to be looked into. However, if it’s over a year, this tends to be a cause for concern.
Why Are Employment Gaps a Concern?
Naturally, a gap in employment can make you suspicious of a candidate as you start to wonder what they were doing during this time of unemployment.
You want candidates who are positive, can utilise their time and can highlight what they have done during this time. If they have nothing to show for this period, it can give you a bad impression about their work ethic and overall personal drive.
However, gaps may be problematic due to a criminal conviction or a job where something went wrong and led to termination. Of course, a gap may be completely innocent and involve career breaks for various personal reasons, time out to travel, maternity leave or problems with illness. This is why it’s always important to check this with a gap analysis specialist during your recruitment process.
How Will Performing a Gap Analysis Benefit You?
Every person that you bring into your business has to be right for the job. By performing a gap analysis, you are able to ensure that your candidate is seriously interested in the role by reviewing their prior experience, performance and qualifications.
Longer gaps can also instigate the question, why won’t anyone hire this person? It may highlight conflicts with a previous employer or a criminal history. A gap analysis will give you more information as to what happened during this time and will allow you to make a more informed decision. Most importantly, it will also increase the accuracy of information you are provided by candidates due to the process of our checks.
