Getting through the HR departments irrelevant filtering is the hard part. I've gotten offered every single job I've ever interviewed for. I think you need to look at why 5 companies in 11 years instead of just dismissing the candidate.
For me:
1. Got a job out of school
2. Outsourced- got forced into working at a place I hated
3. Switched jobs from said hated place after giving it a year
4. Company split
5. Company was about to outsource, so I jumped ship
I've never left a job because I was going to cash in somewhere else, my hand was forced every time. I sit at 2.2 years per job on average without ever voluntarily jumping ship.
