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.
- Session length
- 30 minutes
- Cost to a mentee
- Free
- Matching
- Cross-border
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.
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
Reporting a board will accept.

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.
