The problem
In growing companies, new hires often wait weeks before they feel at home. They have a desk and a computer, but they do not know how things really work.
Their manager is busy with daily work, and nobody else checks in. The new employee sits quietly, unsure who to ask about the unwritten rules of the office.
How organizations usually handle it
Companies usually handle this with an orientation day and a handbook. Both are useful, but they only give facts. A new hire needs a real person to talk to when small questions come up in the first few weeks.
How mentoring solves it
Mentoring means an experienced person meets one new employee regularly, over months, with a clear goal. Here, the right mentor is a colleague from another team. They do not evaluate the new hire, so the new employee can ask anything safely.
Because they meet again and again, the mentor helps them understand the company culture. The new hire builds a network outside their own department and settles in much faster.
How it works on Mentornity
Matched with a colleague
Employees apply through your forms. Matching rules and Mentornity AI propose an experienced colleague for each new hire, and your team approves every match in one click.
All meetings planned at once
The meeting planner schedules all the meetings between the new hire and their mentor at once, so nobody has to chase a date.
Tracking the week
A weekly pulse asks new hires how their week went on a simple scale. If they need support, they can ask the program team for help.
Measuring progress
The same questions at the start and the end ask about goals, working style, being heard, and progress. This shows how the new hire changed.
Or a mentor pool, with rules
Not every program needs fixed matches. In a pool program, mentors open their free hours and employees book them themselves. Rules still decide who sees whom: for example, an engineer sees only mentors from other departments.
What you can measure

You see the weekly pulse scores to know who needs help.

Questions
Do managers act as mentors for their own new hires?
No. Mentornity matches each new hire with a colleague from another team. This gives the new employee a safe space to ask questions they might not ask their boss.
What happens if a new hire and their mentor stop meeting?
If they do not meet for thirty days, they appear on a silent match list. Mentornity AI then suggests an email your team can send to check on them.
Does the team have to schedule the meetings?
No. The meeting planner schedules all their meetings at once. Both sides get calendar invitations automatically.
