tell me what is the usual process for internal jobs
Hi Mel,
The usual process for internal job postings generally includes:
- **Job Announcement:** Notify all eligible employees about the new position.
- **Application Process:** Allow interested employees to apply for the position.
- **Evaluation:** Assess applicants based on set criteria such as KPIs, performance reviews, and qualifications.
- **Interviews:** Conduct interviews to determine the best fit.
- **Decision and Notification:** Inform the successful candidate and provide feedback to other applicants.
If your company's process deviates from this, it may be worth discussing with HR or seeking further advice.
