Promoting from within is often faster than looking outside of your organization. However, hiring from outside provides you with greater access to potential employees who may have a wider range of skills. However, there are many reasons to consider both options.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Promoting From Within<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you open up a management position to your current staff members, promoting from within can reduce the amount of time the position is vacant. There will not be a need for routine human resources activities such as checking on the applicant&#8217;s resume or references. This can reduce your hiring costs. Hiring from within means that you are already familiar with the employee&#8217;s personality, skill set and experience level. A study from Kelly-Radford found that senior executives fail, in general, 34 percent of the time when hired from the outside versus 24 percent when hired from inside your organization <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ddiworld.com\/ddi\/media\/white-papers\/thecaseforinternalpromotions_wp_ddi.pdf?ext=.pdf\" name=\"_ftnref1\">[1]<\/a>. Promoting from within helps to boost employee loyalty, allowing your staff to do their best because of the potential to move up the corporate ladder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recruiting From Outside of Your Organization<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even if there are qualified candidates for a management position within your company, there are many reasons why you might want to consider outside recruitment. Bringing in a fresh perspective allows your company to increase its range of skills. Recruiting an outside candidate may also be easier on supervisors and staff who might otherwise develop a contentious relationship with internal promotions. Top talent is attracted to companies that are using best practices and offer the opportunity for growth, not companies that always want to stick with what\u2019s safe and comfortable <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-hiring-outside-your-industry\/\" name=\"_ftnref2\">[2]<\/a>. A new person may have more experience or relevant technological skills than the people you already employ. Outside recruitment allows you to capture the best talent from applicants locally, regionally and even internationally.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ddiworld.com\/ddi\/media\/white-papers\/thecaseforinternalpromotions_wp_ddi.pdf?ext=.pdf\" name=\"_ftn1\">[1]<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ddiworld.com\/ddi\/media\/white-papers\/thecaseforinternalpromotions_wp_ddi.pdf?ext=.pdf\">http:\/\/www.ddiworld.com\/ddi\/media\/white-papers\/thecaseforinternalpromotions_wp_ddi.pdf?ext=.pdf<br \/>\n<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-hiring-outside-your-industry\/\" name=\"_ftn2\">[2]<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-hiring-outside-your-industry\/\">https:\/\/www.ziprecruiter.com\/blog\/the-benefits-of-hiring-outside-your-industry\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When your organization has a management position to fill, deciding how to hire for the opening can be a challenge.
