Todd Graves, billionaire CEO and co-founder of Raising Cane's Chicken Fingers, has expressed concerns about the increasing trend of job-hopping in today’s workforce. Speaking to CNBC Make It, Graves highlighted frequent job changes—every two to three years—as a significant red flag during the hiring process, questioning the loyalty and motivations of such candidates.
"When I see someone hopping jobs frequently, I question whether they're in it just for themselves," Graves said, emphasising that such behavior often indicates a preference for titles and control over collaboration and teamwork.
With over 800 locations globally, Raising Cane's prioritises loyalty and collective effort. Graves focuses on assessing a candidate’s genuine enthusiasm for the brand during interviews, seeking those who are invested in team success rather than personal gain. "Teamwork is a critical component of our success, and it’s a red flag when candidates seem more interested in titles than contributing to the collective effort," he added.
Despite the rising prevalence of job-hopping, Graves believes that dedication and teamwork are key indicators of long-term success within an organisation. While the debate on job-hopping continues, Graves’ stance underscores the ongoing importance of loyalty in the eyes of many hiring managers.
