In companies, promotions to high positions should be given to employees inside the company and not to somebody outside the company or new hiring. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

1Higher positions in a company should be filled with honest, dedicated, loyal and talented individuals as the employees 2inof such positions make 3important decisionsthe important decisions which ultimately determine the fate of the company. While selecting employees for the higher positions in an organisation, people have different views. Some of them believe that existing and deserving employees should be promoted for such positions while others advocate for outside hiring. I personally believe that 4internal or external candidatesinside or outside employees should 5get an equal opportunityget equal opportunity to fill such positions.

First of all, it is natural that inside employees are loyal and 6their dedication is proventheir dedications are proven. They know the company and its business model better than an outsider. Hence many people 7are strongly of the opinionare in a strong opinion that a company should always promote an internal employee to a vacant high-level position. In my opinion, they have their reasons to believe 8thisso and I also agree that a deserving internal candidate should be promoted to a high-level position. However, my opinion also includes that a company should not promote an internal employee to the high-level position if the employee does not truly 9deserve and be qualified fordeserve and qualify for this position.

Secondly, the corporate world is quite competitive these days. People often 10change jobsswitch their jobs and companies fire and hire employees more frequently than ever before. 11InFrom this regard, if a company restricts its hiring policy for high-level positions 12to internal candidates onlyonly to internal candidates, it will soon fall behind other companies 13thatwho have better and more deserving decision makers. 14On the contrary, if a company always 15hireshire from outside and does not value experienced and existing employees, it will soon face 16a shortage of qualifiedthe scarcity of qualified and talented employees. Considering 17both factsboth of the facts, a company should always inform the internal candidates about the vacancy of a high-level position and also invite outside candidates to apply for this position. 18Then the hiring authority should select the best possible candidate for the position: be on an outside or an inside employee.

In conclusion, hiring for high-level employees in a company is quite an important decision to make. It should not be influenced by any prejudice or outdated rules. Both the internal and external candidates should be given the opportunity to compete for this position and the most deserving candidate should be 20chosen from among themhired among them.
