[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you’re just applying blind and don’t know anyone hiring, I think you’re not going to have a high chance of getting hired. [/quote]

Not true at all.

In fact, when I know candidates and want to hire people I know, they don't even show on the cert list. Knowing a hiring manager isn't helpful. [/quote]

Is an internal “shoo-in” candidate ever beaten out by a stronger external candidate? I can see wanting a fresh perspective in some cases, but also imagine it could be really bad for morale to hire an external over internal candidate.[/quote]

There's often not enough money for both candidates. They can't have both internal candidate doing old job and external candidate doing new job because there was only enough money for 1. And there's often FTE caps too.

If there is enough money for both the old job and the new job to exist, this can happen.[/quote]

I’m thinking more like a vertical promotion. So an internal Program Manager applies for a vacant Program Director job that is also advertised publicly. Two different positions, not a ladder promotion if that makes sense. Is there incentive to hire the internal candidate and backfill that position? [/quote]
