Filling up vacant positions through internal job posting could actually help a lot as opposed to hiring external candidates.
Opportunities within the company should always be promoted and posting an internal job ad would certainly make your message get through the company employees. Personally. I always like to prioritize internal applicants especially for the positions that requires leadership and also knowledge in terms of the company. This is because more people that are hired externally has a better chance in terms of being productive with that kind of position.
One thing that recruiters could actually see as an advantage includes the following:
a. cost (it's much cheaper)
b. already a "tenured" employee
c. offers career path to employees
These 3 advantages alone could really make a difference in the company and actually doing an internal vacancy could make the recruitment process a breeze.
