Internal Mobility
Great talent comes from within, yet many organisations fail in the most simple of resourcing solutions: managing internal mobility.
While the reported cost of recruiting a new employee can be measured in placement fees, the hiring manager’s time, and advertising spend, the true cost of engaging and making productive a new employee is much, much higher.
The estimates vary widely however the wider range is between 9 and 18 months for the average employee to generate sufficient revenue to overcome the costs incurred in their recruitment and onboarding.
With this in mind, it’s vital to have an active internal mobility programme.
The Benefits of Internal Mobility
Reduced Cost
Internal mobility candidates incur costs that are a fraction of external direct or agency fees.
Productivity Gains
With less time spent onboarding, internal candidates become productive faster.
Institutional Knowledge
Sourcing candidates internally helps ensure retention of skills and knowledge as skilled internal candidates who may otherwise have exited the organisation may stay on for new opportunities.
Retention and Engagement
Internal mobility programmes help to retain and engage staff.
What We Offer
Internal Candidate-driven Mobility
We prioritise internal candidates who apply to vacancies posted on the internal careers portal.
Proactive Approach
With certain technologies, internal candidates are able to ‘opt-in’ for mobility opportunities. This provides us with a pre-qualified pool of interested internal candidates to work with as soon as a role becomes available.
Advocacy
Should internal mobility be an active part of the HR agenda, we’ll deploy internal mobility consultants who act as advocates for internal candidates, prepare them for interview, and provide feedback.
Top Performer Programmes
Our internal mobility programmes help to identify opportunities for high-performers, helping retention and ensuring their focus remains on internal career progression.
Career Counselling
Internal mobility consultants can act as career counsellors for potential leavers, identifying internal opportunities and reducing external attrition.
Mandated Processes
We ensure that resourcing teams adhere to specific internal mobility processes and policies.
