Should enterprises adopt internal channels or external channels to recruit senior executives? Why?

There are two sources for recruiting managers: one is to cultivate, select and appoint managers from within the organization, that is, internal sources; The second is to recruit from outside the organization, that is, external sources. Whether to use internal channels or external channels to select managers depends on the specific situation. Usually, the selection and appointment of senior managers of an organization adopt external channels. There are some defects in endogenous selection, such as (1) "inbreeding", which forms a mindset and is not conducive to innovation. (2) It is easy to form a complex network of relationships, cronyism and cronyism. (3) The narrow range of candidates is easily restricted by the shortage of management personnel. These shortcomings can be avoided if external recruitment is adopted. Because: (1) external recruitment, there are a wide range of candidates and a large choice. External recruitment is oriented to the society, and anyone who meets the requirements, including managers currently working in other institutions, can apply, so the range of choices is very wide. (2) managers recruited from outside are not bound by the existing model, which can bring fresh air and vitality to the organization and is conducive to organizational innovation and management innovation. In addition, because they just joined the organization recently and have no personal grievances with superiors or subordinates in history, they rarely care about complex interpersonal networks in their work. (3) It is conducive to calming and easing the tension between internal competitors. There may be several internal competitors in the organization competing for the vacant management position. Everyone wants to have a chance of promotion. If employees find that their colleagues, especially those with the same level and ability, have not improved themselves, they may be dissatisfied, slack in their work, dissatisfied with the management, and even tear down the platform. Hiring from outside may give these competitors a certain psychological balance and help ease the tension between them.
