The internal recruitment has many benefits over the external recruitment, but it includes also some dangers, which are hidden in the beginning.
The internal recruitment brings the benefits of no new employee orientation, no need for the trial period and the employee can get quicker at the expected level of performance. The expected performance level can be reached almost within days from the start of the new employee in the unit.
The danger of the internal recruitment is missing company know how enrichment. When the internal recruitment dominates the whole recruitment process, know how about the external market is not upgraded. The company can live in its own environment and the market can quickly change and the company can be in big trouble.
The internal recruitment should never be the main source of the job candidates. The internal recruitment should be used for the promotion of the key employees and the rule of one internal and one external candidate should be followed to keep the organization healthy.
The internal recruitment offers a lot of benefits to the company and the employees of the organization, but the organization needs some external learning and enrichment and the HRM Function should guard the inflow of the external know how to the organization.
