Balancing Global TA Sourcing and Mentoring with Gui Neves
In this podcast clip, Gui Neves shares his passion for diversity and inclusion in the talent space, which has driven him to create a not-for-profit organization aimed at supporting the LGBT+ community.
During the pandemic, Gui recognized the disproportionate impact of unemployment on the LGBT+ community, particularly in Brazil. Utilizing his recruitment skills, he launched a website in July 2020 to offer mentoring sessions, providing career guidance and support to those in need.
Gui’s initiative started modestly, with him personally mentoring individuals. However, it quickly gained traction, attracting mentors from various countries including Brazil, Costa Rica, Peru, Mexico, the United States, Spain, and Switzerland. These mentors, who speak Portuguese, English, Spanish, and French, receive training to handle sensitive conversations and provide effective support.
Despite the challenges of balancing his professional and personal life, Gui remains dedicated to this cause, continuing to offer mentoring sessions to individuals in need. He invites listeners interested in becoming mentors to visit www.lgbtmentoring.com to learn more and apply.
