The mentors to be recruited fulfils most of the following criteria, namely:
- Minimum 5 years of mentoring experience;
- Managerial background;
- Skilled in interpersonal relations;
- Good analysis and interpretation skills;
- Involvement in voluntary social work;
- Experience in consultancy.
Moreover, in order to provide a multiplier effect and reach as many prospective mentors as possible, the snowball recruitment strategy is utilized, which consists of the following steps:
- Identify a person who meets the criteria established for the methodological application of the mentoring schemes
- Ask that person to provide the name of acquaintances who meet the criteria in the field of their business or other areas
Usually, one person who accomplishes the criteria knows more people like him/her in the same business area or other areas, so the purpose of this strategy is to ask each person to identify a new prospect and the snowball to be getting bigger and bigger. However, during the process, the names might begin to repeat as the number of people selected increases. This also allow us to identify that all potentially suitable candidates have been detected.
