Companies like yours are missing out on a lot of good people. These "job hoppers" as you call them could be contractors that have to move around a lot to keep employed. There are plenty of people that may be ready to finally settle in a permanent position and will have skills and experience far beyond the "loyal" employees you are looking for. I would venture a guess that these "loyal" employees you are hiring are far less productive and motivated than the ones you are missing out on.
