Smart Match

Powerful, equitable algorithmic matching

Bring the power of mentoring to more people than ever before without the additional admin burden. Set your matching criteria, then simply sit back and let Mentorloop do the work for you!

Our unique equitable matching algorithm ensures all of your participants get high-quality matches.

Where other mentoring software algorithms prioritise higher compatibility for a few, Mentorloop prioritises good pairings for all – no one gets left behind.

This is why our programs have a satisfaction rating of 96%.

How it works:

The Mentorloop Smart Match algorithm considers a range of criteria, like skills and goals, on your participants' profiles.
It then benchmarks a potential match against feedback received for similar mentoring relationships on Mentorloop over the years.
The algorithm uses this data to determine match fitness.
Taking into account the best possible outcome for your entire cohort, draft matches are created, ready for your approval.
The algorithm is regularly fine-tuned through feedback from your cohort. This helps Mentorloop improve the matching recommendations within your program.
