How to Leverage Your Internal Network for Hidden Roles

In this episode of The Internal Move Podcast, Lucas and Luna explore the power of your internal network to uncover roles that never get posted publicly. They dive into a 2025 LinkedIn study showing that 62% of internal hires come from informal referrals, not job boards. Using a real example of a marketing manager at a Fortune 500 firm who landed a product role through a casual coffee chat, they break down the three types of internal connections you need: informants, sponsors, and allies. Lucas shares a specific framework for mapping your internal network using a simple spreadsheet, while Luna challenges listeners to rethink the 'cold email' approach. They discuss why waiting for a job posting is the slowest path to mobility, and how a 10-minute conversation can fast-track your move. This episode is essential for anyone feeling stuck in their current role but unsure how to tap into the hidden job market within their own company. #InternalMobility #CareerDevelopment #Networking #HiddenJobs #InternalTransfers #LateralMoves #WorkplaceStrategy #CareerGrowth #LinkedInStudy #JobSearch #ProfessionalNetwork #Mentorship #Sponsorship #EmployeeReferral #Fortune500 #HRInsights #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
