What is Talent Hoarding?

When managers deliberately prevent their best employees from transferring to other teams or roles within the organization, blocking internal mobility to protect their own team's performance.

Why it matters in hiring

Talent Hoarding comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
