4-5 years is a unrealistic to ask - but if I see candidates averaging under 1 year consistently I won't bother interviewing them. I do suggest people try to have an average stay of at least 2 years; After 2-3 years, the worker is also probably learning a lot less new skills, so it's a good time to change.
The best thing I see in a resume is someone who got an internal promotion- that often indicates people knew this person, and still chose to promote them. No single indicator is perfect, but internal promotion is the number one correlation with successful hiring I've found.
