Internal recruitment
Advantage:
Motivation. The fact that a company promotes its employees is reason enough for
them to improve their performance.
Confidence. As staff are promoted, they gain more confidence from higher
positions.
Saving. Although there is an expense in personnel training, the recruitment cost is
higher the more specialized the position.
Quick selection process. The recruiters already know the candidates, so the
process is quite short.
Disadvantages:
Limitation. The candidates are few, compared to the possibilities offered by the job
market. So a suitable profile may not be found.
Poor selection of new staff. When someone is promoted, their old position
becomes vacant. The problem is that new applicants are often evaluated on
whether they meet the requirements for promotion. Taking away the opportunity of
ideal people for the position but not for promotion.
Encapsulation Many times the company needs people from outside who have
worked in other companies, to offer a different vision.
Internal problems. On the one hand it can generate rivalry between the staff and on
the other, if the selection process is inadequate, it will be difficult to reverse it.
External recruitment
Advantage:
New blood. This leads to new ideas and views on problems and solutions within
the company.
Immediate results. Although the personnel recruitment process takes longer than if
it is done internally, the results will be reflected from the beginning, since the
employee has already been previously trained by another company where he
worked.
Improve the staff of employees. When the recruitment process is successful, it
tends to enrich the human resources of the company, since the chosen candidate
will have to match and even exceed the expectations of the company.
Disadvantages:
Complexity. The recruitment and selection process of personnel requires selection
work techniques, having good sources of talent recruitment and of course
foresight.
Greater investment. The fact of obtaining immediate results implies a greater
investment.
More risk. The arrival of a stranger always supposes a greater insecurity than if
someone from the house is promoted. That is why the importance of a recruitment
agency that will be in charge of evaluating applicants and providing greater
guarantee.
