What is a Talent Marketplace?
A talent marketplace is a digital platform that connects internal employees with opportunities within the same organisation, including open roles, short-term projects, mentoring, and learning experiences. It functions like an internal job board but goes further by using AI to match employees with opportunities based on their skills, interests, and career goals. Talent marketplaces promote internal mobility and help organisations make better use of existing talent.
Why it matters
Organisations often hire externally for skills that already exist internally, simply because there is no visibility into internal capabilities. Talent marketplaces solve this by making internal talent discoverable. They improve retention by giving employees growth paths, reduce hiring costs by filling roles internally, and build organisational agility by enabling rapid redeployment of skills to where they are needed most.
How Teamtailor helps
Teamtailor supports internal mobility by enabling internal job postings alongside external ones. Employees can browse and apply for internal opportunities through a familiar interface, and hiring teams can consider internal candidates alongside external applicants.
