When it comes to building a successful team, many organizations focus on attracting top external candidates. However, one of the most effective ways to strengthen your workforce might already be sitting right at the next desk over. Internal mobility—the practice of identifying, developing, and moving existing employees into new, often more advanced roles—enables companies to retain institutional knowledge, boost employee engagement, and reduce the costs associated with external hiring. At Filtered, we’re thrilled to announce our new internal mobility feature designed to simplify and supercharge this process.

Why Internal Mobility Matters More Than Ever
In a time of market uncertainty and rapid skills evolution, companies need to be agile. Internal mobility plays a crucial role by:

• Retaining Valuable Talent: Internal promotions and transfers signal to employees that there is ample room to grow, reducing turnover and preserving valuable institutional expertise.
• Reducing Hiring Costs: Sourcing candidates internally cuts down on recruiting and onboarding expenses, while also shortening ramp-up times since current employees are already familiar with the company’s operations and culture.
• Enhancing Engagement and Performance: When employees see clear career pathways within the company, morale soars. As a result, they’re more likely to hone their skills, contribute innovative ideas, and maintain high performance levels.

Introducing Filtered’s Internal Mobility Capability
We’ve expanded our platform’s talent assessment capabilities to make it easier than ever to identify internal talent, align employee skill sets with new opportunities, and support strategic career growth. With our new internal mobility feature, you can:

1. Map Skills to Opportunities: Our platform leverages robust assessments and data-driven insights to help you pinpoint which employees have the technical and soft skills needed for open roles. Instead of guessing who might fit a position, you’ll have objective evidence guiding your internal search.
2. Empower Growth Through Learning Paths: Internal mobility isn’t just about placing someone in a new role; it’s about enabling success once they get there. With Filtered’s tailored learning pathways, employees can upskill or reskill in preparation for their next opportunity, ensuring a smooth transition and long-term success.
3. Reduce Bias with Objective Assessments: One of the greatest barriers to internal mobility is unintentional bias or reliance on outdated performance metrics. Our best-in-class assessments provide a fair and objective measure of a candidate’s capabilities, helping you promote based on merit rather than connections or assumptions.
4. Centralize Talent Data and Insights: By consolidating performance data, skills test results, and career aspirations in one place, managers and HR teams get a 360-degree view of their internal talent landscape. This holistic perspective allows for more strategic decision-making and future-proof workforce planning.

Realizing the Benefits Across Your Organization
The impact of effective internal mobility stretches far beyond HR:

• For Employees: It fosters a culture of continuous improvement and lifelong learning. Employees who see clear pathways upward and laterally within the company feel valued and motivated.
• For Managers: It simplifies succession planning and helps build strong, resilient teams ready to tackle new business challenges.
• For Leadership: It means developing a flexible, future-ready workforce that can adapt quickly as company strategies evolve, market conditions shift, or new technologies emerge.

A New Era of Workforce Strategy
Filtered’s mission is to help companies build and nurture top talent—from finding the right external hires to maximizing the strengths of those who are already on the team.
