## About Abode
Abode is a talent experience platform that helps enterprise HR, L&amp;D, and talent acquisition teams recruit, engage, and develop employees across the full talent lifecycle, from campus recruiting and early-career programs to mentorship, leadership development, high-volume hiring, and new hire onboarding. Designed for program managers, TA leaders, and HR teams at enterprise organizations, Abode provides a single system for building and running structured talent programs at scale. The platform replaces disconnected combinations of spreadsheets, email campaigns, and point solutions with AI-powered automation, participant engagement tools, cohort management, and real-time analytics, all running on shared infrastructure across every program an organization operates. Key features and capabilities include: AI-powered program management: Automatically generates program content, cohort journeys, and participant communications tailored to each audience, reducing manual coordination across early-career, mentorship, leadership development, and new hire programs. Participant engagement tools: Gives every program participant a centralized destination for tasks, resources, events, community forums, mentorship matching, and direct messaging, whether they are a campus recruit, a transitioning veteran, a new hire, or an emerging leader. Engagement scoring and risk detection: Tracks participant activity across every touchpoint and surfaces at-risk individuals before disengagement leads to a renege, no-show, or early attrition, giving teams time to intervene. Analytics and reporting: Delivers real-time dashboards and AI-generated insights across programs, cohorts, and campaigns, enabling leaders to measure engagement, conversion, retention, and program ROI without manual reporting. Abode Recruit: Enables campus and event-based recruiting teams to build branded landing pages, capture candidate interest via QR codes, automate personalized follow-up, and connect top-of-funnel recruiting activity directly to downstream program management. Organizations using Abode for early-career programs report a 50% reduction in offer reneges, a 27% increase in intern-to-full-time conversion, a 346% increase in candidate engagement compared to email, and 50% less time spent planning and executing programs. Organizations running mentorship and leadership development programs on Abode report 30% higher retention among program participants, a 1.6x higher likelihood of internal promotion, and 84% of participants developing skills that directly contributed to their role performance.

**Reviewed Date:** May 17, 2024

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

Nothing comes to mind. They are top notch.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In the current world of remote and hybrid work, employees are craving for connection and want to meet colleagues they can relate to on a professional and personal level. This is challenging when teams a geographically dispersed and people are less likely to bump into each other in the hallway or at an event. Ten Thousand Coffees helps us build connection across the company and democratizes access to development and networking opportunities in an automated and scalable way.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Robert J. | Alumni Coordinator - Special Projects, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** June 03, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

The seemless usage for users. The system is great at matching individuals in our community based on shared interests and skills. It's accessible and takes pressure off initial introductions compared you old-school networking. The ability to host office hours and leverage the community within is great too, and is a nice way to couple the branding of networking, mentorship and virtual engagement.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

An app would be great for our younger audiences. Otherwise I think the platform checks all the boxes.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is solving the problem of access to networks and communities within an institutions database. 10KC directly connects students with grads and industry professionals, within the UWindsor community. The monthly connections provide an easy way for people to interact where and when it makes sense.

**Reviewed by:** Tabatha W. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Since partnering with Ten Thousand Coffees in 2022 the amount of support and friendliness from the staff is unmatched. We embarked on a journey to bring members of our organization together and with Ten Thousand Coffees we've been able to do just that. We have now expanded our offerings within Ten Thousand Coffees because the demand from our members has grown so much. No matter how small the request, the employees at Ten Thousand Coffees have jumped in and helped us figure out a plan to make this a success.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

If I had to choose anything that I would like to see improved would be the customization for some of the tools in our tenant.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We use Ten Thousand Coffees for our women's employee resource group within our organization. Our employees are spread out across the United States and internationally. Our goal was to create a community where our members could build networks with our women employees that they would not normally get the chance to do so with. Ten Thousand Coffees has done just that by allowing us to match our members monthly and a place of offer office hour sessions where members can join discussions that appeal to them, guiding them to connecting with other members that have similar stories or backgrounds.

  ### 7. Meaningful Connections

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 22, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Our company has been using 10KC to facilitate networking connections among employees, and it has been an outstanding tool for fostering collaboration and building meaningful relationships. There are several key features that I particularly appreciate:

1. Regular Matching Based on Interests and Goals: The platform matches employees every six weeks based on shared interests and professional goals. This regular cadence ensures that networking remains a consistent part of our workplace culture. I've found that these connections are not only relevant but also highly enriching, allowing me to engage with colleagues who share similar passions and career aspirations.

2. Customizable Matching Criteria: One of the standout features is the ability to adjust matching criteria. Whether I want to connect with individuals from specific business units or seek out peers at certain organizational levels, the platform provides the flexibility to tailor connections to my current needs. This customization enhances the relevance of each networking session and helps me build a more targeted professional network.

3. User-Friendly Interface: The platform is intuitive and easy to navigate. Setting up my profile, adjusting preferences, and scheduling meetings are all straightforward processes, which makes the experience smooth and enjoyable.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

I can't think of any downsides. I wish more people leveraged the platform.

**Reviewed Date:** March 12, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

10KC has been fantastic with working with us to build out an implement our mentorship program. Denise and Aaron have been instrumental every part of the way and I would not have been able to run such a well put together program without them! I would highly recommend 10KC to anyone looking to create a program for themsleves!

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

There is nothing I can think of regarding what I dislike about 10KC. You guys have been amazing!

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

10KC is solving the problem of us having an official mentorship program platform. A one-stop shop for everything a person would need to be succesful during their time in the mentorship program!

  ### 10. Effective tool in building connections between employees

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Pharmaceuticals | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 24, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Ten Thousand Coffees is an effective for us at Santen in building connections between employees. It was our first time introducing an employee connectivity program at Santen, and we were able to establish over 4000 connections over a period of 3 years.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

We were not able to deploy this in China due to the data privacy issues.

  ### 11. Provides more than a program, their customer service is top notch!

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 13, 2024

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Once launched, they provide the content for the mentorship program to run itself and are truly partners that are with you every step of the way.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

It is a behavioral change to get folks incorporated in the 10KC system which takes some time to become a practice so managing inqueries when communications are pushed has been what we've disliked but it is also part of the growing pains of any new kind of offering!

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our community has been requesting a mentorship porgram for quite some time, and through 10KC we are able to offer this program enterprise wide.

  ### 12. Platform nice, account manager nice, participants like their experience.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** ANDREE M. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

They don't send correspondance to their clients in Canada's two official languages.

They help us manage the volume of applications.

  ### 13. Tech-enabled solution that drives positive employee engagement, connections and impact

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Information Technology and Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 21, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

10KC has proven to be a high-impact, tech-enabled solution that has resulted in thousands of meaningful connections made across our global organization - and the impact as a result of this has been wide-sweeping.  From a deeper understanding of our company's growth strategy and specific domains of expertise to building connections across personal identity and areas of passion both inside and outside of work, 10KC has provided a fantastic tool for our team to bring all of this to life.  And, this happens all within a colleague's day-to-day workflow and employee experience - so no need to learn a new complex tool or regularly visit a new portal.  10KC meets our employees where they already are... in their Outlook inbox and other productivity tools!

Not only is the 10KC platform excellent, the team at 10KC has been great partners, co-creators, and subject matter experts which has positively shaped how we bring this experience to life at our company (from implementation to current state).  Additionally, their product team has been open to feedback and understanding our company's user experience which is much appreciated and reflected in new product features we have seen over the years.  They truly value their customers and the voice of the customer helps shape how they evolve the platform.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

Nothing to add.  We have been using the platform globally for some time now and any areas of support which we have needed are always addressed promptly and with great follow-through. Any enhancements we have suggested over the years have been provided to their product team - and much (if not all) we have seen go live in additional product enhancements over time.  This is a testament to their focus on user experience, customer experience and continual innovation.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Our two program goals include:  1) connect people across our organization to promote an inclusive culture of learning and growth through informal conversations and 2) empower employees to share their unique experiences and perspectives across teams, geographies, and levels of seniority.   Across both goals, the data and employee testimonials show that 10KC as a solution has been successful on both fronts.

  ### 14. Ten Thousand Coffees Worth Every Drop!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Brien C. | Brien Convery, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

I have been a huge fan of Ten Thousand Coffees and an early adopter of the platform back in 2014.  For close to 10 years, I have enjoyed the innovative and personalized approach to being able to connect with individuals on scale with meaningful connections based on common interests and passions.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

I have not found anything I truly don't like about the platform.  The team is always adding new features and options for its user base.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

With my focus on early talent and new to career individuals, Ten Thousand Coffees allows me to connect with students with a profile that is personalized and approachable.  It goes beyod other networking platforms in that it provides a concept of meeting over coffee that is welcoming and engaging.

  ### 15. Internal networking made easy

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Financial Services | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

10kc has been an amazing tool for internal networking. Working at a large institution it has really streamlined the possibility of meeting a variety of coworkers in many differenr business units with a wide array of experiences. this tool takes a lot of the stress out of networking. cutting down on organizing and searching time. helps with meeting colleagues who are also interested to network. in my own personal career journey, i was matched with a colleague who had a very similar choice in career direction as myself. i was able to build a strong connection and gain mentorship to help me carve my own path. happy to have had this platform available and im still an avid user and promoter.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

It's not across our whole company yet. Excited for when all of our global and domestic staff can join so I can meet more colleagues.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Helping meet people who can influence my career. Meeting them faster instead of waiting to be introduced or having to cold call my colleagues.

  ### 16. Using 10KC has increased our employee engagement

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Jani L. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 26, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

We are using the Office Hour feature and we have sessions with an average of 250-300 employees. We run about 3 sessions per month. We have 61% of our employee population on the platform which is great. We are doing our first mentorship cohort.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

I'd like more concise data metrics - the numbers can be confusing.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We are doing sessions on Risk Management 101 and Getting to Know Your Leaders. These sessions have almost 300 employees join and a lot of good conversation. 10KC has increased our employee engagement.

  ### 17. Great networking tool, easy to use, love Office Hours

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daniel P. | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

-Best connections - met contacts at the firm that allowed us to uncover a variety of cross-selling opportunities. People I otherwise would not have connected with
-Easy to use - It's like networking on autopilot. It's all delivered straight to your inbox each month. Really appreciated that it wasn't another app
-They have this feature called Office Hours -- great way to learn about different topics at the firm, connect with senior leaders and feel more connected in a hybrid work environment

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

-I really like the software so no real complaints. Would love to see my company expand the users on the platform so we could connect with colleagues in other regions

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Networking - making it easy to connect with colleagues and leaders, particularly within a hybrid work environment
Learning - opportunities to learn about different company strategies, career paths, etc

  ### 18. Great tool allowing for quicker connection and reduced admin

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Banking | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 02, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Events in our business are key opportunities to make an impression with an audience - a lot of time is spent preparing for them, particularly on administrative and event setup items. The ease of setting up Office Hours changed the game with quick templates that can be customized for your events, allowing you to reduce the amount of admin you have been doing and focus on the event itself. Your participants get a quick look at what the event is, can register, submit questions if needed and get an automated calendar invite which is key to the event success and more reasons why you are spending less time on these administrative tasks previously done by hand rather than automated with the Ten Thousand Coffees platform.

The team is incredibly helpful and was very supportive and adaptive during the rollout in our company.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

Excited to be getting the calendar sync soon!

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The amount of time we spent on events prior to Ten Thousand Coffees was cut in more than half with steps that were automated by the platform

  ### 19. best platform for enterprise mentoring / scale

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Higher Education | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

The first platform where we could truly match based on robust requirements, while also using their templates. Previous/other platforms were very much "one size fits all"

10KC also has made it easy for various program managers to each get their own programs - women's mentoring + early career/intern mentoring for example. Other platforms really struggled with this, which is why we switched.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

We're hoping our IT team can resource 10KC integrations like Teams and calendar. More of an IT issue on our side, as 10KC does provide these integrations with very modern/easy to use IT tools.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Better matching -- we previously used excel spreadsheets, we then moved to mentorcliq, and are now happily on 10KC using a much more modern matching and program design approach. 
Better scale - a big part of scale is user enrollment, matching across different programs/program teams, and also allowing various programs to run at the same time. 10KC has been able to do this very easily for the program teams but also for end users.

  ### 20. Automated introductions to new colleagues with suggested availability streamlines virtual networking

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Consulting | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 14, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

The true value of TenThousandCoffees is how it does the work for you. It emails you an intro to a colleague and suggests a possible time that suits both of you, inviting you to book the suggested time. Since onboarding a year ago, virtually, TenThousandCoffees has allowed me to grow my colleague network outside of my immediate team and organization. This has been an invaluable opportunity to open new doors and explore other areas of the business. Given we are a large organization spread across Canada working on such a high variety of projects this level of networking would not be possible without a tool like TenThousandCoffees

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

It would be nice if you could be more refined and prescriptive about what areas of the business you'd like to network with - like new cities, new lines of business or specific industries etc.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It helps to open doors within our organization. The best people in our organization have a wide network of individuals. Without TenThousandCoffees the burden and effort required to build a virtual network and create these high vale relationships would be too big a wall for many folks and we would simply stay within our current teams and projects.

  ### 21. Fostering a culture of connection

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Sports | Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 11, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

10KC makes it easy for colleagues to connect, which fosters increased collaboration and helps employees develop new skills. The platform is incredibly easy to use from an administrative perspective and the support offered by their team is incredible. I've had the privilege of using the tool at two distinct organizations, leveraging it to support different employee opportunities. In both instances, I've seen how 10KC has fostered human connection in a meaningful way.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

I would love if the templates provided within the tool were created with the partner in mind, so that all the amazing documents that are enclosed for users, could easily show the organizations logo alongside 10KC and have more specific company information included. It's doable, but I just wish it was a bit easier as everything else is so user-friendly within the platform.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

They are making it easy for colleagues within our organization to connect and collaborate across silos. The tool is providing an option for our Exec team to engage with groups of Director-talent, without a heavy administrative burden.

  ### 22. Super responsive and easy to work with

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Printing | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 07, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

Our sales team was wonderful through the whole process and took a ton of time with us to make sure this would meet our needs.  As our needs have grown they have accomodated changes and made recommendations.  When any issues have come up they have been super responsive and taken care of things right away.  We look forward to growing together.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

Some minimal system limitations but that may be  because of how things are setup on our end.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

10KC is helping our employees to make connections with other people they wouldn't otherwise know.

  ### 23. Best mentoring software for companies of all sizes

Highly scalable and customizable software that makes launching a mentoring program painless. Provides an exceptional experience to your employees by delivering the program directly via email or existing communications platform.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

I haven't experienced any downsides to using Ten Thousand Coffees at this time. All  functionality can be highly customized, so any issues with the implementation that arise from employee feedback can be adjusted as needed.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Providing mentorship opportunities that are equitable to employees at organizations of any size.

  ### 24. Efficient but needing further integrations

**Reviewed Date:** October 03, 2023

**What do you like best about Abode?**

The ability to ask the organiser of an event questions in advance. That way they can come to the event prepared with an answer.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

MS Teams is not integrated and I have to set up a separate meeting invite and copy and paste over the link

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Cross function collaboration and awareness

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

We don't have any issues or dislikes about the solution that 10KC brings on.

**Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Bridget H. | Quality Analyst, Enterprise (> 1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** December 06, 2022

**What do you like best about Abode?**

I love that Ten Thousand Coffees offers so many opportunities. We used it to enhance our mentorship program at our company and strengthen the importance of networking, but the opportunities that TTC offers extend far beyond that.

**What do you dislike about Abode?**

It still feels very corporate-y. The questions and prompts provided for the mentorship program still read very forced and kind of what you would expect from a tailored mentorship program, which was a bit disappointing.

**What problems is Abode solving and how is that benefiting you?**

In a remote environment, it's really beneficial to have a virtual platform that allows you to connect with others around the world. It gave us a really easy way to pair employees with employees in a meaningful way that was intentional and not restricted to location base.
