Planning and delivery heads · Hire or move
Hire from outside or move someone in? Compare both
Every open task carries a hire-or-move card: the strongest person inside, the strongest candidate HR has found, and a plain recommendation with its reasons.
The problem
Teams hire for roles they could have filled internally, or wait for an internal move that never comes, because nobody puts the two options side by side.
How it works
- 1FitRank takes the best recommended person from the task's latest matching run.
- 2It takes the best outside candidate who passes the same rules.
- 3It compares fit, start date and margin, and suggests moving someone inside or hiring from outside.
- 4The manager decides, and the decision is recorded.
What's included
Hire or move
For each task, compare the best internal person with the best external candidate, side by side, with the reasons for each.
Where teams use it
- For delivery and talent leadersDecide whether to hire or move someoneCompare the best internal person with the best outside candidate for each task, with reasons on both sides.
- For hr and talent acquisition teamsBring in outside candidates when nobody inside fitsTurn 'no internal fit' into a hiring request, read resumes with personal details removed, and match candidates to every open task.
Questions about hire or move
Are outside candidates judged by different rules?
No. Candidates are ranked with the same rules and facts as employees; their availability is their notice period.
Does FitRank decide whether to hire?
No. It shows both options with reasons and suggests one. The manager decides.
