Because internal consultants only know what is in the firm , outside folks bring connections perspective and they are usually more sellable. My quals always show up rather than full bred consultants as I was an industry director before I switched into consulting

Why pay more? It’s a buyers market

Well i thought its always cheaper to promote someone internally vs paying ‘market rate’ to get people from outside. Even in the buyers market today the market rate is still higher than your current salary + 10~15%
