HR Chat: Internal Job Opening

We have a management position that has recently become available, and we’re currently only considering internal candidates for the role. While we have a preferred employee in mind for the promotion, we’re aware that other team members are also interested in the opportunity. To ensure compliance with company policy and any relevant regulations, are we required to formally open the position for internal interviews, or are we permitted to move forward with directly promoting our chosen candidate without going through the full interview process?

Whether you’re hiring a new employee or promoting someone internally, you don’t have to navigate the process alone. Partner with our team of attorneys to ensure your hiring practices are legally compliant and free from discrimination. From interview questions and documentation to drafting offer letters, myHRcounsel is here to support you every step of the way.
