<p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">We're researching which <a class="a a--md" elv="true" href="https://www.g2.com/categories/talent-intelligence">Talent Intelligence tools</a> are rated highest for reducing external hiring costs through better internal development, since that's fundamentally a build-versus-buy question within the workforce itself.</p><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">The three highest-rated are SeekOut, CodeSignal, and Greenhouse. Here's the fuller list:</p><ol>
<li>

</ol><p class="elv-tracking-normal elv-text-default elv-font-figtree elv-text-base elv-leading-base elv-font-normal" elv="true">For talent teams tracking this directly, did internal development actually reduce external hiring spend, or did it just shift where the spend went?</p>

&lt;p&gt;CodeSignal backing its assessments with that much I-O psychologist validation per role gives it more credibility for internal mobility decisions than a lot of tools that just guess at skill fit.&lt;/p&gt;
