STRATEGIC TALENT MOBILITY: CONNECTING PERSONAL
POTENTIAL TOORGANIZATIONAL GOALS
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
When there is a position to be filled in your organization…
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
… why do managers so often decide to recruit outside talent?
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
Its because they don’t have information systems that can match the job requirements to the profile of someone who already works for the organization.
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
However, promoting or hiring from within is usually the better business decision.
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
This is because doing so:
›helps keep talent – knowledge, competence, skill – inside your organization
›costs the company less
›improves your reputation as an employer
T A L E N T I N T E L L I G E N C E
