Recruiting Talent Internally
• Advantages of a promotion-from-within policy:
Capitalizes on past investments (recruiting, selecting, training, and developing) in current employees
Rewards past performance and encourages
continued commitment to the organization
Signals to employees that similar efforts by them will lead to promotion
Fosters advancement of members of designated
groups within an organization
Trang 12Recruiting Talent Internally (cont’d)
• Limitations of a promotion-from-within policy:
Current employees may lack the knowledge,
experience or skills needed for placement in the
vacant/new position
The hazards of inbreeding of ideas and attitudes
(“employee cloning”) increase when no outsiders are considered for hiring
The organization has exhausted its supply of viable internal candidates and must seek additional
employees in the external job market
Trang 13• Human Resources Information Systems (HRIS)
Database systems containing the records and
qualifications of each employee that can be accessed
to identify and screen candidates for an internal job opening
• Job Posting and Bidding
Posting vacancy notices and maintaining lists of
employees looking for upgraded positions

1 It takes a long time to fill key positions
2 Key positions can be filled only by hiring from the
outside
3 Vacancies in key positions cannot be filled with
confidence in the abilities of those chosen for them
4 Replacements for positions often are unsuccessful
in performing their new duties
5 Promotions are made on the basis of whim,
favouritism, or nepotism
