History and scholarship

Doeringer and Piore (1971) described internal labour markets; Cappelli (2008) showed a shift to buying talent externally. Bidwell (2011, ASQ) found external hires paid more yet initially performing worse; Groysberg (2010) that star performance travels poorly. Quiñones et al. (1995) and Schmidt and Hunter (1998) show experience length predicts weakly compared with structured interviews and work samples.

Key points

'X years or more' is usually required, 'preferred' is a plus. Quantify results in a career statement. Laws, programmes, visa rules and hiring practice change; check official notices, current law and actual postings.

In practice

Settle pay via negotiation and check probation.

FAQ

Can I apply slightly under?: Some firms are flexible.
Reference checks without consent?: Consent is normally obtained.
