I'm gonna go with external hires
Former firms I have been with seem to hire outside. Marcum which is now CBIZ.
First of all, they higher from outside
I know the situation where someone was supposed to be transferred from one state to another and by the time they got that straightened out they fired regional that was supposed to transfer that person and then manager from the other state where their employee worked. Took them out of the system so they had to reapply and then they screwed that up. I had to reapply again by time I was all done. It was 2 months
Then later on find out they hired someone that doesn't respond to the employees to help them to do better to encourage him to do better. They barely answer their requests when they call so my guess would be. I made a good choice not to go back. Someone was looking out after me. Some companies just don't care the cheaper the person they hire the more money they save but in a lot they don't realize it costs them more money. I know of two really good people and upper management did a great job that lost our job companies. Don't care. It's all about the bottom line. As long as the executive gets paid I pay. They don't care about the little that's why I'm going into a different line of employment
Retail Assistant - I think you’re misunderstanding how accounting firms work and hire.
No suggestions. Job market is bad right now.
Unless someone is due for promotion at that moment, I probably wouldn’t promote someone just cause of that. It also depends if they’re looking for an experienced senior or not
Thank you for putting a senior thing in there because I've been in retail for many many years and retired and looking for part-time
Understand the hiring process takes a couple of weeks or so sometimes even 3 weeks because I was a manager. By time they background check and all that was done. A lot of my candidates got jobs elsewhere but that was a few years back. It's even worse now and being retired doesn't seem to open very many doors
I think most larger firms will go outside rather than promote from within outside of the normal promotion cycle.
Actually, now that I think about it, most big roles are filled by outside hires.
I have experienced both situations and the involvement of external hires depended if there was a need to fill a recently opened position from someone leaving or transfer etc. That alaways has external hires involved usually tge position is announced gor internal hire for x amount of time the the position goes publique. Where work experience is being recognized a position isn't even opened or announced and gor me it has always been after a performance review either after semi-annual or annual review depending on the company I worked for. Just my 10+ years of experience in the financial and accounting industry 🙃
Director here. When I’m hiring senior level roles here’s my order of preference: internal proven person in my industry, external proven person in my industry, internal proven person switching to my industry, throwing care to the wind hiring some rando hoping their resume is at least 70% accurate.
Just my thought . One they higher outside because they can pay them less money
The problem with that is that it costs more money to train new people rather than to promote within and they usually don't stay so it doesn't really make a lot of sense or they do stay. They don't do a very good job
It's not really about their resume that the people they hire I'm one of these older people.
A lot of these companies are closing their business or downsizing because they're robbing Peter to pay Paul
An upper management doesn't want to take the pay cut, so the people that work for them suffer
By not getting promoted
By not getting raises
By bringing in people less qualified for less money
And then they want to cry and complain that their companies are not doing well
Several companies have closed many of their stores but you don't see upper management, taking a pay cuts and keep those stores open and pay those people that need jobs
Does that make sense?
But I've seen it over the years many times more so in the last 5 years
Depends on the industry and the team. There are some teams that have constant turnover so hiring for seniors within is almost impossible. I’ve seen those who are already at senior level migrate to different industries. I’ll let you know in a few weeks.
