I find it absurd to jump from one corp to the next one within just few weeks or even days.
Don't you care about the lamentable image you are projecting about yourself? Anyone can see you deserve no trust, because you are quitting at first problem you encounter. Or maybe you are just an awoxer or a corp thief. What other reason to act like this?
Check for example character Urodus. Seriously WTF?
It is OK that you have lived in crappy corporations here and there, but anyone systematically dropping their new corp everytime... oh well it is lame. Still the desperate recruiters keep allowing these impatient/i-dont-know-what-i-want scummers onto their failure corporations.

They're harder to sell than capsuleers with no corp history. Other than that, I don't give it much thought.

It's quite simple, people with large employment histories aren't to be trusted. If they only spend a short time in each corp, they're likely to continue to do so, and it's a big indicator that they are a thief, awoxer or general scumbag. |

Depends:
Failed Corps
Failed Corps that the player started
Inactive Corps
In-Corp Fighting
Not the type of Corp they were looking for
Many reasons why a person may have a long employment history. Most of the time its not a worry. 
But there are some that have couple days there couple days there, maybe some concern, possible spai. |

It really depends, I have jumped to a few holding corps and come back, Have jumped corp when it was required by the corp and returned / changed to a similarly related corp for some purpose or another.
One of the worst markers on my corp history, was when SMA took me back in after about a year had passed since there leader had me kicked out instead of promoted for talking about where my family was from in a forum post. (i had to make do with a punishment for a month as well which was served dutifully)
I hadn't broken a rule or anything apparently he just didn't like my over helpful attitude - which may have been suspicious i guess his rudeness was what ground my gears over the issue.
but after coming back they decided to boot me out once more for old corp history 1 hour after joining, (after an API verified check i might add)
So i take corp histories with a pinch of salt - a lot of the time its innocent or ended corps that failed and their members move on. in my case iv been burned by an asshat who is too full of themselves to just explain talk about a problem |

I have an employment history longer than my arm, but if asked could explain every switch on there. Some were necessary holding corp moves, some temporary while I waited to see what happened, and some just weren't what I expected.
I can honestly say I have never stolen, or awoxed, just looked after number 1, and if that is a crime I am guilty! |

No. Tried finding a nice corp, a few times. Failed. In another of my own corps again. With my playstyle, corp does not really matter to me apart from easier sharing bookmarks with my alt.
Someone doesn't like that? Big deal. |

Stupid arbitrary five quote rule. Crafted the funniest reply to your post (no, really) but maybe I can just skip to the conclusion.
You seem charmless, maybe recruiting isn't for you.

It depends on how long and how many corps, some people really have bounced around until they found that corp that works for them, as a recruiter I wont automatically decline anyone with a long employment history but I will expect them to explain and defend their reasons for it.
I also think those people can be annoying because they freeze my client when I view their history... 
*edit*
Although I normally check any way people with long histories have their killboards scrutinised even more for awoxing. |

It depends why they jumped. I have some toons who have lots of "jumps". They mostly jump between the same corp and noob corp and back again. Why? Well, corp standings to anchor POS is high sec. If I want to move a POS, I have to empty the corp of low standing toons, letting them back in again once the POS is up.

Haha, I was just to say that.
One of my Chars have enough employment history to the point of your mouse well breaking just before the end of it.
Lots of ppl have POS in high sec and/or jump clones available at their Corps because there are ppl like me that, sometimes, lend them a hand.
But I'm not offering the services anymore, taking my isk from some other stuff.
EDIT: BTW, look at the employment history of this toon - 2006 - Republic Military School - OMG, only 1 Corp in 7 years! You can TRUST me by your standings... |

This is an understandable reason, and quite frankly this kind of hopping is fine, its when it is different corps that it flies a red flag.
The number of corps is not really the problem, its the consistency of time that is normally the issue
This is a red flag eg:
Player Corp A - 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp B - 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp C - 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp D- 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp F - 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
etc
This is more likely to be fine eg:
Player Corp A - 5 to 10 Months
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp B - 5 to 10 days
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp C - 1 to 2 Years
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp D- 5 to 10 Months
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
Player Corp F - 1 to 2 Years
Noob Corp - Doesn't matter
etc
Same number of corp jumps, but because the first example is all short stints, it reeks of an awoxer or theif etc
More likely to reject the first example without even bothering to do a Full API Check or Comms interview. |

I rarely can stand to spend more than 3-4 months in the same corp - curiously this hasn't affected me getting into the corps I want to join so far.
It takes about 4-6 weeks until the new car smell has worn off and then another 8-12 weeks of fighting myself not to quit. Eventually I lose that battle and enjoy the most beautiful freedom for 1-2 months (the first month after finally quitting a corp is the best time in EVE) until I get bored of my own irrelevance and start looking for a corp again.
The reason for my behavior is that most EVE players start to infuriate me with their thoughts and behavior once i get to know them (they have stupid and unreflected political views, they like to brag about in-game "achievements" that are none, they are racist, misogynistic and homophobic [not even talking about memes here, they're for real and often don't even realize], they don't understand my jokes, ...), I just don't seem to have a lot in common with the typical EVE player in terms of general outlook and interests.
And when my mind is already tilted because of frustration with their in-game behavior (no, ganking lone travellers with a fleet of 20 is not skilled small-scale pvp, stop lying to yourselves and to everyone else ffs) then one stupid sentence will send me into blaze of rage.
It's the same in real-life. I joined various political groups when I was younger and the level of narrowminded stupidity in those groups always drove me away after a few months (Don't look at me like I'm the devil incarnate just because I told you to read some Marx ffs; yes we are conservatives but that doesn't excuse you spouting off uninformed bullshit about Marxism when it is obvious that you have never read any of his works. Here are the Grundrisse now read up or shut up) . I have a handful of very stable friendships with individuals but other than that I try to stay away from socializing and larger groups. It's just not worth the frustration and rage.
However, in EVE refusing to group up limits you much more than doing the same irl does, so I always end up in another player corp after a month or two of flying solo. |

It rather depends on what you define as a "short time". When I have time to be online I like to help new corps get started but I will only stay for a month or two until they are on their feet or have failed. I do tell them this at the start though.
As a generality, anyone that only stays in a corp for a day or two at a time and is a relatively new character is probably an awoxer |

If they have a long history of corps that they have only stayed in for a short while then that's dodgy, but if they have a mix of short and a few long ones then i don't see a problem |

Yeah, there is no 'typical' EVE player. Just ordinary people from every walk of life that happen to share an interest in gaming and spaceships. When you think that everyone else is the problem, its probably only the one you see in the mirror. |
