Turbine time, Fixed wing VS Helicopter

The Heli Expo in Orlando was a great learning experience. After attending the Flight Instructor Refresher Cours I went to the Job fair like hundreds of other pilot/instructors.
When I handed my CV to several different company representives they asked about my turbine time. Well I have over 600 hr turbine time BUT most in fixt wind. I was told that fixt wing turbine time does not count.
Why not?? You can do a hot start in a fixt wing or torque and temp out in a fixt win aircraft as you can do inb a helicopter.
Any one has a good explanation?
Looking forward to your toughts.
