| Abstract: |
Internal talent marketplaces have emerged as strategic platforms revolutionizing organizational human resource management. This qualitative study examines how internal talent marketplaces contribute to organizational agility and employee retention in contemporary organizations. The research employed a purposive sampling design involving 30 human resource managers and talent management professionals from various industries. Data collection utilized semi-structured interviews and thematic analysis revealed that internal talent marketplaces significantly enhance organizational agility by enabling rapid skill redeployment and fostering adaptive workforce capabilities. The study found that organizations implementing talent marketplaces experienced retention rates 86% higher than those without such systems. Results demonstrate that talent marketplaces facilitate transparent career pathways, skill development opportunities, and personalized employee experiences, directly correlating with reduced turnover intentions. The mediating role of employee empowerment and organizational commitment emerged as critical factors. Findings suggest that successful implementation requires strategic alignment, technological integration, and leadership support. Organizations adopting internal talent marketplaces demonstrate enhanced capacity to respond to market disruptions while maintaining workforce stability and employee satisfaction. |
