Internal Mobility
Help great people grow within your organisation
Before going external, give your existing employees first access to new opportunities. AI matches internal candidates based on their skills, experience, and career goals.
- Internal job board — post opportunities to employees before going external
- Streamlined internal application process
- AI internal candidate matching based on skills, experience, and career goals
- Manager visibility when team members express interest in internal moves
Data Flows Both Ways
Internal mobility features use employee data (skills, goals, performance) to match internal candidates to open roles. When external candidates are hired, their data flows into the HRIS automatically. No re-entry required.
