Internal Recruitment

Some argue that it is better to develop your own organizational leadership internally than to hire it externally.

1- What reasons would they use to support their conclusion?

2-Would that strategy be appropriate for all organizations? Why or why not?

We can talk about internal recruiting from a personal perspective.

2. The strategy of internal recruiting would not be the best strategy for each and every organization, due to the fact that some organizations would benefit from fresh ideas and perspectives from individuals that are hired from external sources. An individual that is observing an organization from the outside, can sometimes see more clearly what changes need to be implemented, in addition these individuals would not be hindered by the psychological tendency to maintain the status quo, due to years of ...
