Internal Mobility
Internal mobility software that fills open roles on verified skills
Companies hire outside for roles they could fill inside, because nobody can see who is ready. Equip runs internal hiring with assessments: open the role, invite internal candidates, test and interview them, and shortlist on verified skill.
ATS free on every plan. Pay only for the assessments you run.

Capabilities
How internal mobility works on Equip
Open the role to internal candidates
Create the job in Equip's ATS as you would for external hiring, with the skills and the proficiency levels the role needs. Share the link internally, or add internal applicants directly; a spreadsheet of nominated employees imports in one step.
Assess everyone on the skills the role needs
Every internal candidate takes the same assessment: tests per skill at the level the role demands, proctored and auto-graded. A profile says what someone did in a past role; a score says what they can do in the next one.
Run an AI interview for role readiness
The conversational AI interviewer asks each candidate about the new role and follows up on their answers, so the hiring manager gets a scored, recorded interview for every internal candidate before spending an hour in a room with any of them.
Shortlist by verified skill
Rank candidates by assessment and interview scores, move them through stages in the pipeline and record the decision. The employee who did not make it gets a clear reason and a gap to close before the next opening.
Features
Skills you can verify
Skills are tested
Talent marketplaces infer skills from profiles and self-ratings. Equip measures them with tests at a set proficiency level.
One bar for every candidate
Internal and external candidates for the same role can take the same assessment, so the comparison is fair and defensible.
Managers see the evidence
A hiring manager gets scores, a proctoring report and an interview recording for each internal candidate.
Nothing new for employees to maintain
Employees take an assessment from a browser link. No marketplace profile to build or keep up to date.
A gap is a development plan
A candidate who falls short knows exactly which skill, at which level, to work on before the next opening.
Costs only what you assess
Equip's ATS is free on every plan. Assessments and AI interviews use credits, so a mobility programme costs only the candidates you assess.
How it works
Fill your next role from inside in four steps
The same pipeline you run for external hiring, with employees as the applicants and a score next to every name.
01. Define the role
Write down the skills and proficiency levels for the role. A GCC in Bengaluru filling a team-lead role, for example, might set Expert SQL, Hard Python and C1 English.
02. Invite internal candidates
Add the employees who raised their hand, or whom managers nominated, as applicants on the job. Send the assessment invitation with a deadline.
03. Assess and interview
Skill tests and an AI interview run without scheduling. Proctoring and identity checks keep the results trustworthy.
04. Shortlist and decide
Compare candidates on scores in one table, shortlist, and move the chosen employee through the pipeline. Export results for the HRBP and the employee's file.
“LinkedIn gave me 750 CVs, I shortlisted ~30, Equip helped me interview 5 of them. Without Equip, I can't screen candidates at scale. Features like custom tests, proctoring are damn good.”

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
A marketplace matches employees to roles on profile data: past titles, self-rated skills and inferred adjacencies. Equip verifies the skills. Each internal candidate takes tests at the proficiency level the role needs and an AI interview about the role, and the result is a shortlist a hiring manager can defend.
Equip does not replace your HRIS or a marketplace. It is the evidence layer underneath mobility decisions.
No. You start from a role and the skills it needs. Employees are invited by email and take an assessment from a browser; there is nothing for them to set up or maintain.
Yes. Add internal applicants and external applicants to the same job in Equip's ATS and have both take the same assessment stage. Scores sit side by side in the pipeline, and the application source is tracked in analytics, so you can see how internal candidates fare against the market.
Their per-skill report shows which skills fell below the level the role needed. Share it with them and their manager, or keep it for the HRBP. Many teams turn it into the development plan for the next opening.
Every candidate for the role answers questions at the same difficulty level, graded automatically, with the same proctoring applied and shown to them before the test starts. The scoring rules are identical for everyone, which removes the manager-by-manager variation that makes internal moves feel political.
Equip's ATS is free on every plan. Assessments and AI interviews use credits that come with a monthly or annual subscription (Standard, Premium or Elite), so you pay only for the candidates you assess. The 30-day free trial includes 10 credits; see pricing for rates in your currency.
