About this TOPIC

Internal mobility - moving people across roles, teams, and functions - is one of the highest-ROI levers available to any organisation. Yet most still default to external hiring. This collection covers how to build talent marketplaces that work, why internal candidates are often undervalued, and what it actually takes to shift a culture from external-first to talent-from-within.
