# Internal mobility marketplaces

> Match employees to internal projects + roles based on skills, interest, growth path.

**Sector**: [HR Tech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/hr-tech)  
**Build cost**: One-quarter build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

Retention is cheaper than hiring. Internal mobility programs need software.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with HRIS adapters, skills-graph libraries, and project-management integrations.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- Gloat / Eightfold internal mobility
- Mercury Mobility shape
- Open-source skills-graph libraries

## What this displaces

An annual goal-setting meeting + a LinkedIn search.

Niche but durable. Fund only with prior HR-tech GTM. The moat is the skills-graph + the HRIS integration + the workflow.
