— USE CASES
What people use Internal Mobility Matchmaker for
Exploring a stretch move
Assesses available roles against an employee’s appetite for growth and areas for development. The rationale distinguishes a purposeful stretch from a move that mainly repeats existing experience.
Comparing possible internal moves
Provides a consistent basis for comparing roles with different demands and development potential. The shortlist makes the case for each recommended move explicit rather than relying on job titles or familiar career paths.
Supporting individual development plans
Connects development needs identified in assessment and performance evidence to practical internal career options. The recommendations help talent teams discuss role moves as a route to building specific capabilities.
What it works from
- Employee CV or career history
- Hogan assessment report
- Performance notes and development feedback
- Available internal roles and role descriptions
What you get back
- Evidence-based profile of experience, growth appetite and development needs
- Ranked shortlist of available internal moves
- Development rationale for each recommended move
- Capability-building potential and expected stretch for each recommendation
— HOW IT BEHAVES
How Internal Mobility Matchmaker produces its result
The mechanics behind this specific template — what it reads, what it calculates, and where a human stays in the loop.
Whole sets of org data, role documentation and headcount exports at once
All of your org data, role documentation and headcount exports is processed as one set, so patterns across documents surface instead of being read one file at a time.
Live research on the organisation in scope
Current external sources on the organisation in scope are researched during the run rather than recalled from training data, and every source travels with the output.
Composed as work product
Findings on the organisation in scope are written up as a document that reads like professional output, with each claim tied back to a role.
Why this is expensive by hand
Internal mobility decisions can favour familiar career paths or immediate vacancies over meaningful development. In practice it shows up as preparing for career conversations: gives managers and talent advisers a ranked set of internal opportunities grounded in the employee’s experience and development needs. Each recommendation explains the capability the role could help build. The value sits in the rigour, not the typing — yet the rigour is exactly what gets traded away when there is only 1–2 weeks of capacity for it.
How this Skill produces it
As a Skill, the work is already sequenced. You bring the evidence, and the run produces evidence-based profile of experience, growth appetite and development needs plus ranked shortlist of available internal moves. The criteria, ordering and review points that make the answer trustworthy are encoded in the Skill itself — which is the difference between a structured method and a prompt someone pastes in. In effect, 1–2 weeks of senior time compresses into ~25 minutes — and the output is comparable across clients, quarters and colleagues instead of shaped by whoever ran it.
Who it's for
- CHROs and talent management leads
- Succession and leadership development teams
- Executive assessors and coaches
- Consultants running talent reviews
Run it in Skillsize — or export it anywhere
Internal Mobility Matchmaker exports as a structured SKILL.md file and is MCP-ready, so the same method runs in ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot or your own AI products. Adapt it to your methodology, and the intelligence stays yours — not locked to one vendor.
