Does 'homegrown' talent perform better? Research by the Corporate Executive Board (CEB) and McKinsey suggests yes. Analyzing talent mobility, they found that organizations prioritizing internal fills (70%+ of roles) achieve up to **20-30% better innovation metrics** (patent filings, product speed) due to embedded institutional knowledge. Furthermore, high internal mobility correlates with **15-20% higher revenue growth**. External hires often carry a 'portability penalty,' whereas internal promotions leverage existing networks to move faster.
https://www.gartner.com/en/documents/6825234We view 'Internal Mobility' as a proxy for operational velocity. A company that hires externally for senior roles is often paying a premium for a slower ramp-up. A company that promotes from within is compounding its own intellectual property. We look for high internal fill rates because they signal a deep bench and a culture where institutional knowledge is an asset, not a liability to be replaced.
