why are companies so keen on recruiting externally instead of promoting from within?

1.86K views

Every company I’ve worked at seems to have a bias towards hiring externally rather than internally.

I’ve worked with some exceptional performers but the company still preferred to hire externally.

Is there reason for this that is kept quiet?

Because succession planning is almost never taken seriously. People work for years as a “deputy”, thinking they’ll move up while the decision makers know they won’t and will never tell them so because they want them to continue toiling away at the job they’re doing now.

Companies are amoral.
