The merits of internal sources of recruitment are:

Employee Morale — Internal recruitment, like promotion of employees from within the organisation, helps to boost the motivation and morale of employees. When employees are assured of higher positions, their loyalty and commitment to the organisation increase.
Economical — Internal recruitment is economical. The cost incurred in advertising, engaging placement agencies, and screening external candidates is avoided. No outside references are required.
Familiarity — The employees are already aware of the policies, rules, and working conditions of the enterprise. They need not waste their time and energy in learning these basic aspects.
Experienced Staff — Employees who are transferred and promoted are already experienced. The organisation does not have to provide extensive training to them.
Easy Evaluation — The management can easily evaluate the performance of existing employees from their service records, making fair and informed decisions about promotions and transfers.
Upgrading — When an employee is promoted, several other persons below his rank are automatically upgraded. In this way, one vacancy filled from within results in upgrading of several employees and a chain of opportunities for growth.
Reduced Turnover and Absenteeism — Internal recruitment helps minimise labour turnover and absenteeism. People wait for promotion, and the workforce remains satisfied and committed to the organisation.
