The Disappearing Entry Point: Why Talent Isn't the Problem
Where Did the Entry-Level Go?

May 01, 2025
The youth unemployment headlines is raising a bigger issue:
Entry points are dissolving.
Degrees used to open doors.
But today’s talent doesn’t arrive in straight lines.
They’re not always coded in credentials.
They don’t fit neatly into filtered resumes.
When systems can’t recognize nonlinear growth, they mistake readiness for absence.
We don’t just need more jobs.
We need:
Clearer entry points
Skills-first hiring
Flexible pathways that reflect how people grow today
Internships. Project-based proof. Certification routes.
The future of hiring isn’t about chasing the perfect resume.
It’s about listening for signal.
This is an invitation, not critique:
Let’s update how we recognize readiness.
Let’s make space for how people actually evolve.
🌱 No pitch. No platform.
Just a question:
If we redesigned hiring from scratch today - how would we invite people in?
