What is Internal Recruitment?

The practice of filling open positions by hiring or promoting existing employees from within the organization rather than sourcing external candidates.

Why it matters in hiring

Internal Recruitment comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
