Start mentoring
in 4 simple steps
Apply to be a mentor and create your free account. Mentors create a profile that can then be discovered by candidates.
Explore our talent video feed. Candidates submit a video introducing themselves and why they want to work in sales to help you get a sense of who they are.
Message and arrange a call with top BDR candidates. Connect, share advice, see how you can help them on their career journey. Mentoring can take up as little as one hour a month, you’ll still make a huge impact.
If they’re a match for your company, you can refer them for open sales roles, and mentor them through the hiring process. Knowing you’ve played a pivotal role in someone's life? There’s no feeling quite like it!
So often on the job search it’s not what you know, it’s who you know. Connect with the next generation of sales stars who have all the skills and the talent – but not the network.
Don’t have an open role to refer for right now? No problem! Grow your pipeline of ambitious and diverse BDR referrals by viewing video pitches and mentoring aspiring BDRs ahead of a role going live in your company.

Being a mentor is all about being high impact, but low time-commitment! mentors typically spend a few hours (1-4) a month meeting jobseekers on Tangent. This is usually spent on intro calls and then mentoring calls for any interviews they get to once you refer them. But ultimately, the time you spend is up to you! What's important to remember is that mentoring on Tangent is designed to be short-term (i.e. until someone you're supporting gets hired) but you can decide to spend as much time with the people you meet as you like.
