ConsideredThoughtfully is a career services company.

Its initial product, called MyCareerMentor, is what the company calls a “Revolutionary delivery system for mentoring.” Specifically, it's a virtual mentoring program for employees that combines Artificial Intelligence and machine-learning technology.

According to Forbes, 76% of employees are seeking opportunities for career growth.

And according to a July 2017 study from Entrepreneur magazine, 95% of “millennials” — those between the ages of approximately 22 and 37 — believe lifelong learning and professional development are critical to long-term career success.

ConsideredThoughtfully is targeting these groups with its MyCareerMentor platform.

Unlike other career mentoring platforms, MyCareerMentor is the only program that features an artificial-intelligence-based, fully automated platform. In addition, it's the only platform that provides employees with instant responses 24 hours a day.

Employees using MyCareerMentor can practice critical skills and, in the near future, communicate with a specially-designed chatbot about career planning goals.

Employees can also take a series of mini-courses offered on the platform, such as “How to Be Well-Managed” and “How to Improve Communication.” Over time, ConsideredThoughtfully will develop additional courses to enhance each user’s experience on the platform.

In short, by using MyCareerMentor, companies can provide cost-effective mentoring to their employees, while workers can speed up their career progress and improve their career satisfaction.

ConsideredThoughtfully developed the initial prototype for its platform in 2014, and tested a beta version in December 2015. Since then, the company has refined its product based on user feedback, and aims to secure its first corporate customer in fall 2018.
