Your next hire might already be sitting in your organisation

12 March 2026

By Andrew Hecker, Senior Recruitment Consultant, Eden Ritchie Recruitment

 

We often see businesses look externally before mapping internal capability.

When internal mobility is structured and visible:

  • Institutional knowledge stays
  • Recruitment costs reduce
  • Engagement improves

High performers don’t necessarily want to leave. They want growth.
Organisations that create pathways before attrition occurs build resilience from within.

“Before you search the market for new talent, look within. Considering internal applications first honours loyalty and growth and may even reflect the values you publish on your website and position descriptions”
