A Mentor Can Get Them Hired
Mentors don’t only help you be a sharper applicant, they can provide referrals and insights into roles that aren’t publicly shared. They are the secret weapon in the transition.
The MilMentor Solution
MilMentor is the largest mentorship platform for the military community. We connect job-seekers with mentors across Fortune 500s, or who have started their own companies and provide insights, networking, and referrals to transform the job search.
Why Having a Mentor Matters
Studies have shown that individuals with mentors get hired faster, have higher pay, and are retained longer when hired. Beyond that, great entrepreneurs like Steve Jobs credit mentors as a massive part of their success. It is simple, having a mentor can completely transform your transition.
It is easy to see why. Speaking with someone who has done exactly what you want to do fast tracks the transition. Mentors can provide game-changing job referrals, guide job-seekers to their best-fit career, and change the transition.

Our Story
A mentorship platform that used to connect thousands in the community went down, much to the dismay of the military community and all who had served as a mentor on the platform. Immediately, messages flooded into the inboxes of the MilMentor founders, Peter Cline and Jai Salters, who had been active in the military transition space assisting over 20,000 job-seekers since 2020. Immediately, they connected and knew it was time to act.
The MilMentor team announces we are launching a mentorship platform for the military community that goes beyond what any past platform has done, integrating mentors, careers, resources and more into the platform and the reaction is phenomenal. In two weeks we have hundreds of sign ups, publication in magazines and newspapers across the country, and a lot of buzz.
We launched the platform and watched the first mentorship calls get completed! Since, we have been spending our time talking to users every single day, improving the platform, fixing bugs, and planning and creating improvements!
Mentees began reporting back to MilMentor on the impact their mentorship calls had on them and the results were tremendous. Mentees who had gotten resume reviews and referrals from mentors had been hired, entrepreneurs got great business feedback, and more! The platform is already making an astounding difference.
MilMentor adds video calls, allowing mentees to choose between speaking to their mentor via an automated phone call that connects the two parties in a privacy-safe way at the scheduled time, or a Zoom call! The new feature blends the personal touch of video calls with the ease of access of phone calls for our community!
The MilMentor career board will go live, allowing anyone with a profile on MilMentor to view job opportunities with military-friendly employers and one-click apply to their roles using your MilMentor profile! Additionally, users can view and register for upcoming events with their one profile. Now, meet mentors, find resources, and get hired all in one platform!
