The majority of jobs today are filled by hiring internal candidates in a process that is faster than an external search and enables individuals with institutional knowledge to impact an organization more quickly in new roles.

In this Cornell Keynotes podcast episode, JR Keller, assistant professor at the Cornell ILR School, and Angela Cheng-Cimini ’92, chief human resources officer for Harvard Business Publishing, explore aspects of internal talent mobility, including:

• Hiring processes – posting vs. slotting
• Talent hoarding and internal talent loaning
• Motivational spillover effects of internal promotions
• Boomerang hires
• Transparency in contemporary leadership
• Managerial influence on career outcomes
• Effects of internal hiring on diversity
