Internal hiring/promotion

This policy from RadHR covers when supervisors should consider an employee for internal promotion or role transition, including a minimum 90-day employment threshold, and how the internal hiring process should be run. It outlines key procedural requirements such as emailing open positions to all staff, a one-week internal application window, sharing interview questions at least 24 hours in advance, and using a hiring committee to assess candidates. Notably, the policy emphasises transparency — supervisor-nominated candidates must be communicated to all staff at the outset — and requires that unsuccessful internal candidates receive written constructive feedback to support their professional development. It is oriented towards equity and power-sharing in recruitment decision-making.
