5. Types of
Recruitment
Internal recruitment
This refers to the filling of
job vacancies from within the
business - where existing
employees are selected
rather than employing
someone from outside.
A business might decide that it
already has the right people with the
right skills to do the job, particularly
if its training and development
programmed has been effective.
6. How is it done?
Internal vacancies are usually
advertised within the business via a
variety of media:
•Staff notice boards
• Intranets

newsletters (for example,
Emap, a major publishing
business) have a weekly
staff magazine devoted
solely to advertising jobs
within the organisation!
• Staff meetings

opportunity to advance their
careers in the business

otherwise leave

period

about the internal candidate's
abilities ( a reduced risk of selecting
an inappropriate candidate)

expensive than recruiting from
outside

•Limits the number of potential
applicants for a job
•External candidates might be
better suited / qualified for the job
