Small markets, short shortlists.

Australia and New Zealand run tight graduate cycles into markets small enough that a single introduction changes the shortlist. mentorhero gives students, graduates and career changers a free half hour with somebody already doing the job.

The problem here

Three things that keep these markets closed.

Graduate rounds that close early

Applications open and shut months before most students realise the cycle has started.

Referral-heavy hiring

In a small market, hiring managers ask the people they already know before a role is advertised.

Distance from head offices

Plenty of decisions are made overseas, and few people locally can explain what those employers really want.

Who we work with here

Four kinds of partner.

  • Employers running Give across their workforce

  • Universities and TAFEs buying career access for every student

  • Community and youth employment programmes

  • Employers running Redirect for candidates they turn down

Questions

The things people ask first.

Do you cover both Australia and New Zealand?

Yes. Both sit inside the same network and matching runs across borders.

Will my mentor be local?

Sometimes. A mentor is chosen for the job they do, and time zones are handled when the session is booked.

Is it free for the person being mentored?

Always. Sessions are funded by our employer, university and public-sector partners.
