Positive trend in the Market – HR Professional securing their next role internally!
We think that this is newsworthy and worth celebrating! Most moves are genuine promotions — specialists (TA, OD, HRBP, systems) stepping into broader leadership and strategic people roles — with a healthy mix of senior exec appointments and first-time people leaders. Promotions span professional services, financial services, healthcare, tech, retail and government, showing demand for strategic HR skills across sectors. It's clear that cross‑functional HR career moves are happening (TA → Head of Talent, Change → People Partnering) which is less common with external moves. Our advice is that broadening your skillset is often move achievable via an internal move or project.
