The Mentoring Club is a non-profit initiative aimed at providing free support in the shape of pro-bono coaching sessions. It has originally been designed for (but not limited to) product management, engineering, as well as coaching on leadership, company culture and team scaling. The platform is as much for leaders who look for sparring partners as it is for younger people seeking advice in their function or start-up founders who look for a particular expertise. I cover the below topics: * Internal Recruitment Process Auditing: KPIs Analysis, Benchmarking. * Interview Process Optimisation: Improving Candidate Experience and Candidate Engagement. * Talent Acquisition Strategy: Market Mapping, Salary Benchmarking. * Tech Career Coaching: Personal Branding, Interview Performance.
