- Complex or ad-hoc formal process for hiring internal candidates that limits internal applications and creates a poor employee experience.
- Lack of visibility of internal opportunities resulting in a perceived lack of growth in the company.
- Talent hoarding managers who want to keep their employees on their team or a perception that hiring internal means poaching employees.
Internal hiring benefits the organization by:
- Reducing disengagement due to career stagnation and boredom.
- Retaining staff as internal hires, which lower rates of voluntary and involuntary exit.
- Breaking down silos by encouraging employees to move between teams and departments.
