Hiring Managers & Recruiters: Let’s Have a Real Talk.

You weren’t born with 5 years of experience.
Someone took a chance on you.
Someone trained you, coached you, believed in you—even when you fumbled.

So why are so many of you out here shutting the door on new talent?

We’re seeing it every day at New Leaf Career Consulting:

• Smart, motivated people getting ghosted

• Talented newcomers told they “aren’t a fit” after one generic interview

• Job postings asking for the moon, and offering minimum wage in return

It’s exhausting. It’s demoralizing. And it’s creating a workforce crisis.

Here’s the truth:
If you’re in a position to hire, you’re also in a position to build.
To mentor.
To TEACH.
To become the kind of leader you once prayed for.

Your judgment today holds the same power your old hiring manager had when they chose YOU.
Don't forget that.

We’re not asking you to lower the bar.
We’re asking you to remember what it means to lift someone up.
Because somewhere out there, the next you is waiting for a shot—and watching you say no.

Stop gatekeeping. Start growing.
Learn to teach again.
