External recruitment also has some substantial advantages. Unlike internal recruits, you are getting an inflow of often completely new ideas with an employee who has not been exposed or overexposed to your corporate culture. An outside prospect often yields new ideas. She may bring information or methodologies from her former employer that can be integrated into your best practices. Internal job pools may cause problems with a larger company's diversity mix, and lead to problems with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in terms of promoting a diverse workplace. External job recruiting allows for rebalancing in this realm if needed. External recruiting may lead to team stability, as teams may remain intact when hiring externally.
