Judith,
Here at Essex we stopped internal only adverts completely a couple of
years back. However, there is still some bad EO practice taking place
even if the adverts are now external.
Best wishes,
Syd.

Subject: Internal versus external advertising of posts
Dear all,
here at Kent we are reviewing our Recruitment and Selection procedures
for staff, and are having a debate about the pros and cons of internal
advertising, which at the moment happens on an ad hoc basis.
From my EO perspective I'm keen to keep this at a minimum, since one of
our objectives is to diversify our workforce. However, I also see some
value of internal advertising in allowing career development for
existing staff etc. And busy departments sometimes put pressure on our
recruitment section to follow the quick and cheaper option.
How do you deal with this? Do you have 'policies' or protocols to
follow?
Looking forward to hearing from some of you at least!
