Question
Mrs. Ahilya Pasi is the Principal of a prestigious school in New Delhi. The school has a vacancy of a headmistress/headmaster of the junior wing of the school. The senior teachers of the school have the opinion that only internal candidates should be considered for this post. However, Mrs. Pasi and the management would like to invite applications from external sources too. Briefly explain any three justifications the management can provide to convince the staff for inviting applications of external candidates for the vacant post.
Solution
Merits of external sources:
- Qualified personnel: By using external sources of recruitment, the management can attract qualified and trained people to apply for vacant jobs in the organization.
- Wider choice: When vacancies are advertised wisely, a large number of applicants from outside the organization can apply. The management has a wider choice while selecting the people for employment.
- Fresh Talent: The present employees may be insufficient or they may not fulfill the specifications of the jobs to be filled. External recruitment provides wider choice and brings new blood in the organization.
- Competitive spirit: If a company taps external sources, the existing sources, the existing staff will have to compete with the outsiders. They will work harder to show better performance.
