The benefits of recruiting internally

We all know finding and attracting good talent is difficult right now. But, has your association considered recruiting internally and looking at the staff already part of your team?

Recruiting and promoting staff from within can strengthen employee engagement and shows that you value your employees and want to invest in them. Giving employees more opportunities to advance their careers, learn new skills and move to a new position that may interest them, is good for morale. It also helps your association build a culture of trust that enhances employee engagement and retention.

Louise Roper, the Principal Recruitment Consultant at Beaumont People, shares her insights about recruitment struggles the association and membership sector are facing right now. Take a look at the video below.

Whether you decide to recruit internally, externally, or both, remember always to look at the job requirements and the skills your current employees have, and your association’s culture needs. This will help you make good hiring decisions and build trust in your hiring process.
