Directory/Succession & internal mobility
This software helps a company fill roles from within. Succession tools identify critical positions and the people ready to step into them. Internal mobility tools, often called talent marketplaces, match employees to open roles, projects and mentors based on their skills. Both rely on a shared picture of the skills your workforce has.
Start here
Look at how skills data is built and kept current. Some platforms infer skills from profiles and work history, while others depend on employees and managers entering them. Check how matches are explained, so people trust the recommendations. For succession, look for readiness ratings, risk of loss flags and bench strength views. Confirm the integration with your HRIS and your learning platform.
These are mostly enterprise products sold on annual contracts priced by employee count, and nearly all vendors quote on request. Where a vendor publishes a starting price, it is shown on the card below with the date we checked it.
Launching a marketplace while managers still block moves. If internal candidates need permission to apply, the tool will sit empty. Fix the policy first, publish real opportunities from day one, and report on internal fill rate so leaders see the result. The directory below lists the top tools in this category so you can compare features side by side.

21. Each listing records its starting price, free plan, free trial, MCP and API support the same way, so the cards can be compared line for line.
2 of the 21 list a US dollar starting price, and the median of those is about $600. Units differ by vendor (per seat, per month, per check or credit pack), so compare the unit on each card, not just the number. 20 are priced by quote, so the vendor sets the number after a call.
None of them have a permanent free plan. 1 offer a free trial.
4 of the 21 ship a first party MCP server, and 14 publish a public API. MCP is only marked where the vendor runs the server themselves, so an agent can query the tool directly.
The tools we use ourselves are marked as picks and listed first, then everything else runs A to Z. There is no paid ranking: a sponsored slot is labelled as such and never changes a listing, its category or its position.
Counted from every published listing in this category, so the numbers move with the directory.
