The problem
Looking for work after a long break, or trying to enter a new field, is hard. People send out applications and hear nothing back. They lose confidence and wonder if their skills are still useful.
The rules of hiring change fast. Without someone to ask, a person does not know how to write their resume, where to look for open roles, or how to talk about a gap in their work history.
How organizations usually handle it
Nonprofits and NGOs often run job training courses or resume workshops. These teach good skills, but they treat everyone the same. A workshop cannot answer the specific questions of one person trying to get a job in one particular field.
How mentoring solves it
Mentoring means an experienced person meets one person regularly, over months, with a clear goal. Here, the right mentor is someone who already works in the field the person wants to enter. They know what employers look for right now.
Because they meet again and again, the mentor helps them prepare for interviews and rebuild their confidence. The person looking for work gets advice that fits their own life, from someone who has been there.
How it works on Mentornity
Matched with someone in the field
People apply through your own forms. Matching rules propose a mentor who works in the same field, and your team approves every match.
A clear plan for the job hunt
With the Development Plan tool, the mentor and mentee turn the goal of finding a job into clear activities with dates.
Meetings from anywhere
Mentors and mentees meet in the built-in video room. Everyone sees meeting times in their own time zone, and they get a calendar invitation.
Goals scored at start and end
Goals are scored at the start and the end of the program. Change is counted only for people who answered both times.
Or a mentor pool, with rules
Not every program needs fixed matches. In a pool program, mentors open their free hours and participants book them themselves. Rules still decide who sees whom: for example, a participant sees only mentors who speak their language.
What you can measure
Your team sees every booked and completed meeting in one list.
A list shows matches that have not met for 21, 30 or 90 days.
Progress reports show how goals change from the start to the end.
Questions
Does Mentornity find jobs for people?
No. Mentornity runs the mentoring: it matches people with experienced mentors, keeps their meetings going and tracks progress. The mentor helps the person prepare for their job search.
Can we use our own application forms?
Yes. You design your own application forms with custom fields. Matching rules compare one form field with another, like the field of study with the field of work.
What happens if a match stops meeting?
Your team sees a list of matches that have not met for a while. Mentornity AI can draft an email to check on them, which your team approves before it is sent.
