Like someone else said, it’s important, but not the only metric used in measuring someone’s worth anymore. Volunteering, leadership, etc. And obviously what your 1000pic is in, also matters. 121 pic or military pic will be worth more than 1000 hours in a C208.
I do know that the more turbine pic you have, the more likely you are to get noticed by a UAL chief pilot, if trying to score a meet and greet.
Good luck!

Probably explains the extra training that’s been going on around TK these days.

When I went though a long course this fall I had chance to speak with an old friend that is now a manager that deals with new hires.
I’m sure it varies with classes, but at the time, the “problem children” he was dealing with were not low time pilots, but rather very high time RJ captains and retired mil specs.
YMMV.
