Question
Write a short note on: Internal sources of recruitment.
Solution
Internal Sources:
Best employees can be found in the organisation. When a vacancy arises in the organisation, it may be given to an employee who is already on the pay-roll. Internal sources include a promotion, transfer and in certain cases demotion. When a higher post is given to a deserving employee. it motivates all other employees of the organisation to work hard. The employees can be informed of such a vacancy by internal advertisement.
Methods of Internal Sources:
The Internal Sources are given below:
Transfers: Transfer involves shifting of persons from present jobs to other similar jobs. These do not involve any change in rank, responsibility or prestige. The numbers of persons do not increase with transfers.
Promotions: Promotions refer to shifting of persons to positions carrying better prestige, higher responsibilities, and more pay. The higher positions falling vacant may be filled up from within the organisation. Promotion does not increase the number of persons in the organisation.
A person going to get a higher position will vacate his present position. The promotion will motivate employees to improve their performance so that they can also get the promotion.
Present Employees: The present employees of concern are informed about likely vacant positions. The employees recommend their relations or persons intimately known to them. Management is relieved of looking out prospective candidates.
The persons recommended by the employees may be generally suitable for the jobs because they know the requirements of various positions. The existing employees take full responsibility for those recommended by them and also ensure their proper behavior and performance.
