55. What are the various advantages of internal sources of recruitment?

The advantages of internal sources of recruitment are:

• The organization has a good idea of the strengths and weaknesses of its employees.
• Present and prior managers of the employee being considered can be interviewed to obtain
their evaluations of the employee's potential for promotion.
• More accurate data are available concerning current employees, thus reducing the chance of
making a wrong decision.
• The employees know more about the organization and how it operates. Therefore, the
likelihood of the employee having inaccurate expectations and/or becoming dissatisfied with
the organization is reduced.
• Internal recruitment can have a significant, positive effect on employee motivation and
morale when it creates promotion opportunities or prevents layoffs.
• It can prove to be an incentive for good employee performance.
• Most organizations have a sizable investment in their workforce so full use of the abilities of
the organization's employees improves the organization's return on its investment.
