> flagged it as “no” because they had too many position changes

This is wrong and misleading in many ways, you should ask people why they left, you should give a chance to those who have good skillset, not based on number of jobs they had. I know a lot of people who worked on contracts, so they had to change employers frequently, and I know a lot of people who were looking for a place, as juniors, to learn from good mentors. It is really hard to find mentors in Startups, and not everybody can make it to big companies. If companies don't invest on their employees, they leave.

I should clarify that this is not the only reason. It’s one of several. And yes, we did discuss the reasons and it was always something more interesting.

But as best I could tell, if we did hire them, we had 12 months tops. Remember, I only have the past record to go on and hiring is the most important and hardest decision to make.
