Not that I think they should do automatically of course but what is fundamentally wrong with promoting from within.
I think the job should always go to the best candidate regardless of race, sex, disability etc etc. Certainly not on whom you know. But often promotion from within is a better option. The person has proved themselves worthy, have experience of the job and the working environment. If they don't employ outside but if they do it’s not always a conspiracy!
No one is suggesting a conspiracy. If you work here you'd know that an internal candidate has a much greater chance to get a position than most. The only new blood tends to be at the bottom grade or specialist grade.
I'll second that Pippa and also have a name in mind.
This is bollocks! This job has already been advertised internally twice and they failed to get anyone.
