Why Your Best Hires Come From Talent Hoarding
from Hiring & Firing with Fexingo: Recruitment, Performance, and Workforce Decisions · host Fexingo
Most companies think internal mobility means letting people transfer departments. But the most effective approach is what some firms call 'talent hoarding'—actively retaining and redeploying high performers before they even think about leaving. In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack a case study from a mid-sized tech firm that cut external hiring by 30 percent by building a formal internal talent marketplace. They discuss the specific mechanics: how to identify 'growth-ready' employees, why managers resist letting go of stars, and the surprising data point that employees who move internally are 50 percent more likely to stay for three years. If you're tired of losing your best people to competitors or to burnout, this episode offers a concrete framework you can implement next quarter. #InternalMobility #TalentHoarding #RetentionStrategy #WorkforcePlanning #EmployeeDevelopment #HRMetrics #TalentMarketplace #PeopleOperations #CareerGrowth #ManagerBias #BusinessPodcast #FexingoBusiness #HiringStrategy #PerformanceManagement #EmployeeRetention #TalentAcquisition #Leadership #CompanyCulture Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
