Talent Mobility

Frequently Asked Questions

What is internal talent mobility and why is it important?

Internal talent mobility is the movement of employees into new roles or projects within a company. It helps reduce hiring costs, boost retention, and improve workforce agility by developing and deploying talent based on people’s skills and business needs.

How can AI support internal talent mobility?

SHL uses AI to analyze job descriptions and extract the key responsibilities and requirements of a role, translating them into skills aligned to SHL’s Skills Taxonomy.

This reduces the need for manual job analysis and helps you define roles more quickly and consistently, so you can match employees to opportunities, identify skills gaps, and support targeted development. 

How do I know if an employee is ready for an internal move?

Employee readiness for internal mobility starts with objective skills data. SHL's Global Skills Assessment takes approximately 15 minutes, measuring current strengths and identifying gaps to support informed internal hiring and career decisions. For roles requiring new capabilities, the Reskilling Potential Assessment adds insight into an employee's ability and willingness to learn — helping you identify who's ready now and who could be ready with focused development.
