Describe the two sources of Internal Recruitment.

Answer 1

Benefits of an internal source of recruitment:

1. The internal source will reduce the cost and expenses of recruitment.
2. It is very useful to select from the existing and retiring employees.

Answer 2

When job vacancies are filled up from people already working in the organisation, it is called internal recruitment. There are two tnain sources of internal recruitment.

1. Promotions: Vacancies at higher levels may be filled up by promoting persons working at lower levels. For example, when the present sales manager of a company retires, one of the branch managers may be promoted as the new sales manager. Promotion involves shifting an employee to a higher post with a higher status and salary.
2. Transfers: Transfer means shifting an employee from one factory, branch or office to fill vacancy in another factory, branch or office of the company. For example, a shortage of salespersons in one branch may be met by transferring salespersons from another branch. Transfer involves shifting an employee to a similar job without change in status and salary.
