HR Management and Labor Relations | Contrast Internal & External Recruiting


Contrast internal and external recruiting.

Possible Answer: Internal recruiting means considering present employees as candidates for openings. Promotion from within can help build morale and keep high-quality employees from leaving. In unionized firms, the procedures for notifying employees of internal job-change opportunities are usually spelled out in the union contract. For higher-level positions, a skills inventory system may be used to identify internal candidates, or managers may be asked to recommend individuals who should be considered. External recruiting involves attracting people outside of the organization to apply for jobs. External recruiting methods include advertising, campus interviews, employment agencies or executive search firms, union hiring halls, referrals by present employees, and hiring walk-ins or gate-hires. A manager must select the most appropriate method for each opening.
