A closer look: Emma’s first year with RandomCoffee.
From new hire to key player: how value is built, one meeting after another.
Onboarding
On day one, she already has someone to turn to.
On her first day, she’s matched with Karim from Finance, her buddy
Welcome message and first coffee land in Teams, with no HR follow-up
New hires settle in faster and feel part of the team from week one
Coffee chats
Every month, a new face from another team.
Regular coffees pair her with Sales, then HR in the New York office
Silos fade: other teams become people she can call
Ideas and know-how travel across the company, not just down the org chart
Mentoring
Six months in, a mentor helps her grow faster.
RandomCoffee pairs her with Louise, from Operations, based on her goals and skills
Milestones give every session a clear purpose, from career goals to roadmap
Talent grows inside the company instead of leaving to grow elsewhere
Communities
She finds her communities, and her voice.
She joins communities around shared interests: Women in Tech, the running club
In the Marketing guild, she becomes a go-to voice and shares what she’s learned
Engaged employees stay longer and keep company culture alive
Reverse mentoring
A year in, she’s the one passing knowledge on.
Through reverse mentoring, Emma coaches a VP on social selling and AI tools
She also becomes buddy to Hugo, the next new hire: full circle
Knowledge flows both ways and stays in the company, even as teams change

RandomCoffee's matching algorithm analyzes employee profiles, departments, seniority, goals, and custom criteria you define. It then automatically creates pairs or groups based on your program objectives — for example, pairing new hires with experienced colleagues for onboarding, or connecting employees across departments for cross-team collaboration.
What company size is RandomCoffee designed for?
RandomCoffee works for companies of all sizes, from 50 to 50,000+ employees. Small teams use it to build culture quickly, while large enterprises use it to break down silos across departments, geographies, and functions. We have dedicated plans for SMBs and enterprise organizations.
What types of programs can I run with RandomCoffee?
You can run onboarding buddy programs, peer mentoring, reverse mentoring, coffee roulette, cross-team networking, DEI connection initiatives, manager-employee check-ins, and hybrid work rituals. Each program is fully customizable with its own matching rules, frequency, and communication templates.
How long does it take to set up RandomCoffee?
Most HR teams launch their first program in less than a day. You connect your HRIS or upload your employee directory, configure your matching rules, customize your email templates, and activate the program — no IT or developer support required.
What is RandomCoffee?
RandomCoffee is an employee matching software that helps HR teams automate connection programs at work. It pairs employees based on their profiles, goals, and availability for onboarding, mentoring, cross-team networking, DEI initiatives, and hybrid work rituals.
