Guider Reviews

Guider - new user review

Comments: It is integrated with our internal web, which makes it easy to access. I appreciate the AI based matching with suitable profiles, makes the search easier and more efficient and relevant. The sheduling and video call set up which is build in - makes it easy to use - all at one place.

Pros:

Integration with my calendar, tracker and easiness of access

Cons:

I'm still exploring the platform, I'm a fresh user.

A really simple but effective tool for managing mentoring assignments

Comments: A really useful tool to manage mentoring assignments that puts everything in one place and avoids pen, paper and that ubiquitous spreadsheet!

Pros:

It is easy to use without any complicated instructions that any person with the most basic of IT skills can deal with.

Cons:

The video platform has moments of instability or simply will not work, resulting in having to use TEAMS to do the video calls

A good perk for work

Comments: mostly positive but i think that is helps the most with facilitating introductions

Pros:

I find it a great perk offered at work, it's quiet easy to use and has connected me with people in different parts of the business

Cons:

I found it really difficult to schedule meetings in the app so i use Outlook instead. i also use outlook to chat with my mentor a lot more

LEARNING IS FUN AND MATCHING IS HELPFUL

Comments: IT CREATES FUN WAYS TO LEARN AND TOOLS TO HELP YOUR LEARNING EASY. ALSO, IT MATCHES WITH THE RIGHT MENTOR AND MENTORING SESSION HELPFUL.

Cons:

NONE SO FAR SINCE I HAD A LOT OF POSITIVE EXPERIENCES USING GUIDER

Helps me connect with colleagues I’d never usually interact with

Pros:

I’m in a standalone role in a huge international business, and the mentor/mentee matching means that I was able to connect with someone in another continent with the experience and skills I was looking for. I love that it also has options for reverse/upwards and peer mentoring, as I think people tend to think about mentoring as a junior-senior relationship, when really it’s possible to learn from people at any level.

Cons:

Would be nice to have a couple more integrations - Microsoft Teams plugin so I could open it within the same app, and perhaps a connection to our peer recognition programme

Guider to transform your mentoring

Comments: Love this platform! Super helpful for businesses who want to take their mentoring and coaching seriously. Takes all the admin and hassle away from the initial matching, to being able to connect and record progress in one place

Pros:

AI matching is speedy and accurate Easily match mentors and mentees Gets you up and running super quickly

Cons:

Some calendar syncing issues to start with but these seem to have been resolved well

A Fresh easy way to make a connection

Pros:

Allowing individuals from different functions and backgrounds across the organization to connect. We wouldn't be connecting otherwise.

Cons:

Nothing, it was easy to use. Most helpful if the full organization is using it.

Guider Mentor

Pros:

Easy to use and keep up with my relationship

Cons:

Time of meetings is sometimes an hour out

A great app for mentoring

Pros:

It was really easy to fill out my profile and then select a mentor – and then arranging an appointment also was smooth within the Guider app. It has been very fulfilling to have my mentoring sessions.

Cons:

Sometimes there were bugs with the scheduling part of the app, where it was hard to edit or cancel an appointment (and so we had to use alternative methods to arrange things). This seems to have been fixed now.

Awesome resource!

Comments: Looking forward to posting my profile to become a mentor for others!

Pros:

I love the interface with the ability to scroll through potential mentors - seeing their pictures and the bios are super helpful!

Cons:

I don't think that all the mentors use the scheduling feature and the other features the platform has available.

Effective, Flexible and Easy to use

Comments: I have been very impressed by the team who look after us. They really want the programme to succeed and have helped with everything from training to providing source material for me to promote the programme in my firm.

Pros:

Guider has taken the complex system of matching and managing our firm's mentoring relationships and made it simple. People can sign up in a few minutes and sign in with 2 clicks. The mentee has control over who their mentor is, what areas are explored and how long the relationship lasts. Our team looks after the programme and leaves those crucial decisions to the people who are most effected by them.

Cons:

The system isn't wholy integrated into our own database, so if a person leaves the firm we need to manually remove them from the Guider platform.

We love Guider

Pros:

The interface and ease of matching with a mentor.

Cons:

The fact that we cannot customize the platform to US or add location-specific filters. We also haven't had many people sign up

Great Service

Absolutely love that I am able to use the app to connect and guide me to a Mentor. I've been speaking with my current mentor for the last year and it's been super helpful to speak to someone outside my organisation

None so far! Works great and I've had a wonderful experience so far

Very easy to use software

Pros:

Very easy and seamless to use. Matched with mentee and allowed easy scheduling.

Some early teething problems with my ability to remove myself to be viewed as a mentor, but this was corrected.

Guider linked mentees with mentor well!

Cons:

Nothing, as so far my connections are working out well.

Guider is not always easy to use and will sometimes lag with messages which leaves it difficult to communicate with long distance pairings.

Great for learning!

The standout feature for me has been the mentor and mentee matching. It's really intuitive, and paired me with a mentor who perfectly aligns with my professional goals and personality. Overall, it’s helped my progression and relationship building at work.

Cons:

It took some time to navigate through the various features of the platform. However, once I got the hang of it, it proved to be easy to use and beneficial to my progression.
