Question

Dionne wants to post a vacancy as an internal only posting. Her manager, Ty, cautions her about only posting internally, as the benefits do not always outweigh the challenges. Which of the following might be a challenge that Ty is referring to?
A. The process is expensive and takes a long time.
B. It may expand the applicant pool to include too many to interview in a timely manner.
C. Once that job is filled, it will create a new vacancy that Dionne will have to fill.
D. It may decrease morale, because only one person can get the new job.
E. The risks are high because even though you know the individual, it will be a new position.

Answer 1

Answer:

C. Once that job is filled, it will create a new vacancy that Dionne will have to fill.            

Explanation:

Although internal recruitment may be good as the internal workforce already knows the company culture and usually needs little training, the job vacancy of the promoted employee will be certainly empty. Therefore, additional HR effort is needed since hiring someone externally will be needed at a certain point in time.
