demotions and many other
options.

increasing the morale of the
employees because it involves
promotions to higher post

employees (Storey, 2014).
Another strength is that the
existing employees know the
way of working and the rules

The major weakness is that if
this source of recruitment is
used then there will be more
requirement of employees for
that position at which the
promoted employee was
working earlier.
The another weakness is that if
more of internal recruitment is
used then it will demotivate
