What are the Internal Sources of recruitment?
Posted by Ripon Abu Hasnat on Wednesday, May 28, 2014 | 0 comments
In the case of internal
source, the selection of candidates for the jobs will be done from among the existing
employees of the organization. Preference may also be given to the family
members, relatives or friends of the existing employees. If the employer
believes in the proverb ‘known devil is better than an unknown angel’ he will
rely on the internal source. The following are the ways of filling up vacancies
internally:
(i) Transfer
(ii) Promotion
These are discussed
below:
(i) Transfer:
This is probably the
easiest approach to filling up a vacancy. If a particular department has a
couple of surplus staff and another department is short staffed, the surplus
staff may be transferred to that other department. Such an approach avoids the
need to dispense with surplus staff (called ‘retrenchment’) in one place and
make fresh recruitment in another place of the organization.
(ii) Promotion:
Usually, when a vacancy
arises at a higher level in an organization, it is filled up by elevating a
person who comes next in the organizational hierarchy. For example, if the post
of Sales Manager is vacant, the senior most sales officer may be appointed for
the post. In turn, an experienced salesman may be made the sales officer.
