Recommendation

Many of today’s top employees don’t just want a job; they want work that offers growth opportunities. Meanwhile, employers are struggling to fill talent gaps within their organizations. In this McKinsey Talks Talent podcast episode, host Lucia Rahilly speaks with McKinsey leaders Bryan Hancock, Bill Schaninger and Emily Field about how internal talent marketplaces powered by AI can help with these dilemmas. Internal talent marketplaces identify internal candidates who have skills that aren’t being utilized and give workers a chance to tackle new challenges without leaving their organizations.

Take-Aways

  • Employers need to develop innovative approaches to retain top talent and fill skill gaps.
  • Internal talent marketplaces encourage qualified employees to apply for open positions and help employers tap into their workers’ hidden potential.
  • To make the most of internal talent marketplaces, employers should first identify goals and know their workers well.
