Internal sources of recruitment refer to the sources that are endogenous to the organization, that is, within the organization. There are two ways of filling the jobs internally, namely transfers and promotions. It has the advantage of being more economical than the other sources of recruitment. Filling the jobs through internal sources is cheaper in terms of time as well as money. On one hand, the time spent in the whole recruitment and selection process is diminished to a large extent through internal recruitment.
