Why It Matters:
Manual or informal matching often leads to random pairings that don’t click. Poor matches waste time, frustrate employees, and fail to deliver measurable impact.
How Mentorgain Solves It:
Our intelligent matching algorithm considers skills, career aspirations, personality traits, and organizational priorities (like diversity and leadership pipelines) to ensure high-quality matches that make mentoring effective from day one. If a mentee prefers, they can select their mentor too on the basis of their preferences.
On the other hand, if the organization prefers to pre-match mentors and mentees, they can do that as well. The Explore Mentors option can be disabled, and the matching algorithm can be used to assign pairs. Once matched, participants will see their assigned mentor or mentee under the designated tab.
Key Benefits:
- Removes bias and guesswork from the matching process.
- Ensures mentees connect with mentors aligned to their growth goals.
- Adaptable to organizational strategies (e.g., leadership, DEI, cross-functional training).
- Saves HR hours of manual admin.
Example:
Instead of assigning mentors based on availability, Mentorgain ensures a new manager in tech is matched with a senior leader experienced in people management- accelerating readiness.
Another example is the algorithm matching an employee returning from a career break with a seasoned employee who has previously taken a career break and can guide and help ease the transition.
