What is internal recruitment?

The term 'Internal Recruitment' refers to the process of identifying and attracting candidates from a certain organization to another position within the same organization.

Instead of opening the position to the public and attracting random candidates some companies may choose to advertise the vacancy internally and only allow members of the staff to apply.

Internal recruitment also refers to a strategy mostly big corporations use to advertise their jobs internally. Due to the size of these companies, these job openings would otherwise go unnoticed by employees in other departments.
