Mentees stay at 72%. Mentors at 69%. Everyone else: 49%. Nobody at your company argues against mentoring — 78%+ of the Fortune 500 already run a program. What kills programs is the admin. Evensteer runs the matching, tracking, and reporting for you — your criteria, your branding, our hours — and you approve everything before it reaches your people.
Retention, ROI, and admin numbers — sources on the problems page
Matching eats a weekend. Done by hand it takes about ten minutes a pair — a 60-person cohort is a lost weekend, and someone still ends up paired with her own line manager.
The program breaks past 50 people. “I can’t manage this if it grows beyond 50 people. I’m already stretched thin” — a real program manager, matching mentors in a spreadsheet.
The CFO asks what it returns, and there’s a satisfaction score. From a survey most people ignored. Documented programs show ROI up to 600% — the gap is reporting, not results.
The buyer’s pain here is administrative, not philosophical. If you nodded at any of these, the list below is the whole cycle, run for you — in the order it happens.
Six things, one team. Your program stays yours — we just run it.
Days, not weekends
No line managers
Light touch
Fix it in week 6, not month 6
Trained, not just recruited
Proof, not a satisfaction score
Every page here — and the follow-up you’ll get after writing in — is built the way we’d run your program comms: AI drafts, a specialist reviews, you approve, it ships under your name.
We show finished work on your call, with the client’s permission — never a glossy portfolio of strangers.
Ask on the call and we’ll connect you with someone we’ve worked with. No anonymous reviews, on purpose.
No black box, no waiting around. This is the actual sequence.
Leave your email and one line about your program — size, stage, what’s hurting. A person replies within one working day and books a call.
Within 48 hours you get one page: how matching, tracking, and reporting will run for your cohort, and a fixed price. No surprises after.
Criteria agreed, cohort matched in days, tracking live from the first session. You see everything before it reaches your people.
The Shortlist is our vetted, members-only directory — every listing checked, not just paid for.
