Connectr Talent Technology
UK talent-technology provider that uses digital mentoring and employee ambassadors across attraction, onboarding and development. Connectr supports implementation, mentor training, platform configuration, go-live planning, analytics and ongoing customer success.
Profile
Connectr Talent Technology provides digital platforms for candidate and employee engagement, with mentoring built into solutions spanning early careers, onboarding, progression and retention.
Mentoring implementation model
Connectr's approach is technology-led. Its implementation process includes needs discovery, platform configuration, weekly implementation check-ins, go-live planning, onboarding, mentor training, communications advice and ongoing support from a Customer Success Manager. The platform can be configured for employee mentoring, buddying and ambassador communities.
Official examples include British Airways, Lloyds Banking Group, Marks & Spencer, Thales, AtkinsRéalis, BDO and the Financial Conduct Authority. A detailed British Airways case describes the Speedbird-Z platform, which combines learning content with access to employee mentors; the official case states that the programme grew to tens of thousands of users and generated more than 90,000 messages between students and mentors.
Connectr has also run mentoring initiatives with public-sector partners and employers, including a programme with the Department for Work and Pensions / Jobcentre Plus supported by employer mentors.
Best fit
Connectr is especially relevant where mentoring is part of a wider talent attraction, early-career, onboarding or employee-engagement strategy and where the buyer needs technology, implementation support and analytics rather than a purely consulting-led mentoring intervention.
