There are several good reasons why organizations might decide to recruit externally. First, for entry level positions and perhaps even for some specialized upper level positions, there may not be any internal recruits from which to draw. Second, bringing in outsiders may expose the organization to new idea or new ways of doing business. Using only internal recruitment can result in a workforce whose members all think alike and who therefore may be poorly suited to innovation. Finally, recruiting from outside sources is a good way to strengthen one’s own company and weaken one’s competitors at the same time. This strategy seems to be particularly effective during bad economic times, where counter cyclical hiring” policies create once in a lifetime opportunities for acquiring talent. [1]
