Promote internal mobility through employee engagement

What are the advantages of internal mobility?

The obvious advantage of internal recruitment is staff retention. After all, a lack of career development opportunities with the current employer is often the reason for changing jobs. There are some further advantages: internal mobility helps to keep valuable knowledge within the company. Key positions can not only be filled quicker internally: the fact that classic onboarding is no longer necessary shortens the 'time to productivity'. In addition, the risk of making the wrong appointment is significantly less with an internal candidate whose skills and cultural fit can be assessed more reliably than with external candidates. Another welcome side effect: the cost of filling junior positions is usually lower than, for example management positions.

What differentiates internal mobility software from classic application tracking systems?

Some applicant tracking systems offer options for incorporating internal job boards and internal application processes. However, internal candidates quite rightly expect a different candidate experience than external ones - an issue that is often forgotten. And for recruiters to guarantee this candidate experience, it is essential to recognise internal candidates straightaway. Moreover, the success or failure of an internal mobility programme depends on employee acceptance and engagement. Talentry Internal Mobility focuses on usability, mobile apps, newsletters, push notifications and internal communication. Career opportunities can only be taken advantage of if people know about them. Another plus point for internal mobility software: talent pools allow for the creation of 'skill pools' that can also be used as a basis for dealing with skills gaps - or for targeted internal sourcing to quickly fill critical open positions.

How do internal mobility software and applicant tracking systems work together?

The seamless connection of your ATS to the Internal Mobility tool allows you not only to import job ads automatically. Internal applications also land directly in your applicant tracking system, so that you can process incoming applications as normal. Internal candidates can be flagged if required. There is also the option to advertise jobs internally only.
