In an era of accelerating workforce complexity, many organizations face the challenge of misaligned talent due to disparities in educational backgrounds and professional experience. This paper explores how Company R strategically addresses a managerial vacancy through internal talent deployment across divisions. Using the case of Jeff’s appointment as Assistant Human Resource Manager, the study examines the structured decision-making process undertaken by top HR leadership in aligning internal competencies with organizational needs. The research highlights how cross-functional succession planning, internal training, and leadership foresight can support agile talent placement. The central research question investigates the strategic steps executed by Company R’s HRM leadership in responding to managerial turnover when suitable candidates are located outside the affected department. This study contributes to the discourse on internal mobility, human resource forecasting, and evidence-based management practices.
