The 2nd step is the recruitment, where we first analyze the situation to get a clear view about the availability of the resources in the labour market.
Then we decide if we should hire from outside or train the internal candidates.
External candidates are good, because they have new perspectives and ideas, but also they are very expensive and it takes a long time training them.
Internal candidates are good because they already know how the company works and it’s cheap and fast training them, but on the other hand they do not have new ideas and maybe take the place from those candidates who would be more efficient or suitable for the job.
