For organizations looking to facilitate large mentoring programs, self-matching technology dramatically cuts administra- tion time and enables the matching and pairing process to "run itself." With Insala's technology tools, mentors and mentees can match themselves based on criteria pre-selected by a program manager, within any mentoring program. This capability is integrated within the user experience together with an option to accept matches recommended by program administrators — enabling various routes to the best pos- sible partnerships. Once program administrators set specif- ic criteria for matching and pairing and enter them into the software, they can either facilitate the matching and pairing process themselves, or enable participants to match themselves with the best mentor or mentee. Organizations can use the default criteria available in the Insala soft- ware or customize the software content to include the matching criteria most appro- priate for their programs.
