The term "mentor" and getting paid for helping simply don't mix (in my mind). If you actually mean a site where people get help with writing and improving their resume/CV, that would be useful, but I'd use a word other than "mentor". If the objective is to match up people with potential mentors (keeping an ongoing relationship over some time to provide career guidance) then I'd avoid paying the mentors.

Interesting point - I'd originally written "hiring manager" since that was my first thought. I went for "mentor" since (a) I wanted a bigger potential set of advice-givers and (b) it's less of a mouthful than "hiring manager" and (I thought, but now not so sure) that it had the same connotations.
