Demerits of Internal Recruitment
Often leads to inbreeding, and discourages new blood
from entering an organization

be difficult to find the requisite personnel from within
an organization
As promotion is based on seniority, the danger is that
really capable hands may not be chosen
Failed applicants become discontended

level are usually filled with current employees through
promotions.

increased job satisfaction and better job performance

journals

consultancy firms perform recruitment functions on behalf
of client companies by charging a fee.

construction jobs.
