Deanna Nesbit & Associates’ Post

As an HR executive recruiter, I often navigate the dynamic terrain of recruitment strategies. Today, let’s delve into the pros and cons of two key approaches: internal and external hiring. INTERNAL HIRING: Benefits: • Faster Onboarding: Existing employees are already familiar with company culture and processes. • Boost Morale: Promotions or lateral moves can motivate and retain talent. • Cost-Effective: Generally lower recruitment costs compared to external searches. Drawbacks: • Limited Perspective: Potential for insular thinking and lack of fresh ideas. • Stagnation Concerns: May hinder diversity of thought and innovation if not balanced with external hires. • Internal Politics: Challenges in managing expectations and perceptions among employees. EXTERNAL HIRING: Benefits: • Fresh Talent: Infusion of new skills, experiences, and perspectives. • Specialized Expertise: Ability to fill specific skill gaps or leadership roles. • Market Competitiveness: Attracting top-tier talent from diverse backgrounds. Drawbacks: • Higher Costs: Typically more expensive due to recruitment fees and onboarding expenses. • Longer Onboarding: Time-consuming process to integrate new hires into company culture. • Cultural Fit: Potential challenges in aligning with organizational values and norms. Ultimately, the ideal approach often blends both strategies, leveraging the strengths of each to meet organizational goals effectively. We work with companies and help them navigate the these nuances. This allows us to craft tailored recruitment strategies that drive success – quickly even if you recruit externally.
