Question

Which of the following is NOT a merit of internal sources of recruitment?

Options

• No induction training is needed as employees know the organisation

• Promotion opportunities motivate employees and improve morale

• Lack of fresh talent and new ideas entering the organisation

• Candidates are known, making selection more reliable

Answer 1

The lack of fresh talent and new ideas, known as inbreeding, is a demerit of internal sources. The other options are genuine merits: motivation and morale, reliable selection of known candidates, and no requirement of induction training.
