Internal Source is an incomplete source of recruitment. Justify.

For the statement.

Internal source is an incomplete source of recruitment for the following reasons:

1. Cannot Fill All Vacancies — Internal recruitment cannot meet all job vacancies in the organisation. When a person is promoted, vacancy arises at the lower level.

2. Limited Choice — Internal recruitment restricts the choice of management. The existing employees may not be suitable for higher positions, and competent candidates from outside do not get the opportunity to be considered.

3. No Fresh Talent — When all higher level vacancies are filled by promoting present employees, new ideas and fresh thinking may not enter the organisation, leading to inbreeding.

Hence, internal source is rightly called an incomplete source of recruitment.
