If you want to transfer to another department, it is up to you to show that you have the skills required of that department. I find it perfectly acceptable that departments conscientiously choose to hire externally rather than internally if they cannot find suitable internal candidates.

I don't see why HR should be beholden to helping you obtain the transfer you want if you personally cmi. In any case, all of my department folk who wanted to tranfer internally managed to do so without any issue.
Well, you are right in the sense that department choose candidate with suitable skills of that department that the person is applying to. However, hiring manager should not expect an exact match of their requirements as candidate from their existing department may or may not fit the full requirements. The beauty of getting internal candidate is that they know the company well, be it processes or culture and is easier to train up as compared to external candidate. Technical skills can be trained up and from HR perspective, cost of acquisition is lower.

Fyi: Not from mas but speaking from a private sector perspective.
