Question

What are some of the considerations employers need to bear in mind when internal recruiting? How is this different from external recruiting?

Answer 1

The internal recruitment happens in the form of:

• Existing employees
• Trainees
• Transfers

Some of the considerations for the internal recruitment are:

• Check if they have a good internal recruitment policy in place to proceed with the process
• They need to identify the ways through which they can promote the jobs available internally
• They need to identify the ways to encourage the employees to apply for these jobs
• They need to have recruiters with an unbiased mindset to avoid favoritism
• They need to offer freedom to the employees to express themselves during the interviews and make the process very formal
• Keep the feedback structure ready before the recruitment process is conducted.

External recruitment happens through campus recruitments, job advertisements, referrals, and the talent pool of the company. The company will make use of the external channels to identify the right candidates for the role. They will assess the candidates based on certain criteria to decide whether he/she is fit to join the company.
