INTERNAL<br />
APPLICATION PROCESS
INTERNAL APPLICATION PROCESS<br />
The Purpose<br />
We would like to recognise employees for their skills and hard work. But above all, we want to<br />
make sure that our employees learn and succeed within our company and to always keep the<br />
company’s best interest at heart.<br />
The reason for opening this up internally is because we want to retain good staff and to allow staff<br />
the opportunity to move around within our organisation. We are committed to growing our<br />
employee’s skills and therefore want to provide a platform to allow for internal applications and<br />
for transparency around internal roles. This will also allow employees the opportunity to provide<br />
us with referrals based on their personal network (friends, family, previous colleagues etc).<br />
This process would work as follows:<br />
1. I will send an email out to all employees in our South African office when new roles are<br />
made available. This would run simultaneously with my normal recruitment process of<br />
advertising and sourcing.<br />
2. If you would like to apply for the position you would then need to send me an email,<br />
including your updated CV, explaining why you would like to apply for the role and why<br />
you feel you would be right for this position. Your application will remain confidential and<br />
you are not obligated to let your current manager know at this stage.<br />
3. If you met the minimum requirements, I will send your application through to the hiring<br />
manager.<br />
4. If you are going to be shortlisted and interviewed for the role, your current manager would<br />
then be informed to allow for transparency.<br />
5. You would then conduct an interview with the hiring manager.<br />
You will then be considered amongst other internal and external applications to find the best<br />
person for the role. Communication will be sent directly to you around the status of your<br />
application.
If an employee declines an offer, their decision will not affect the employee’s current job. If they<br />
accept an offer, they should organise and meet with their managers to discuss a transfer. An<br />
employee’s transfer may be delayed until their current position is filled.<br />
Criteria for an internal move:<br />
There will be criteria related to each role that one would be required to reach. The criteria will be<br />
such as, but not limited to time with business and performance within this time.<br />
Salaries:<br />
When changing roles internally, there might be salary and holiday difference between your current<br />
role and the role you are applying for. Although salaries won’t be advertised on the roles, salary<br />
would be discussed confidentially with you. Something to remember is that making an internal<br />
move could also mean a salary decrease and not always a salary increase. It shouldn’t be assumed<br />
that changing roles would lead to a salary increase. All salaries for internal and external candidates<br />
will be based on required experience, market related as well as inline with our bandings for the<br />
role. The same will go for holiday days, but not holiday days accrued.<br />
Referrals:<br />
If you know of someone who you think would be good for the role, please would you either send<br />
the name of the person or the CV through to me. Please do not send the application to the hiring<br />
manager, your current manager or Ryan as this is not the interview process. We also don’t want<br />
to be taking valuable work time away from managers and Ryan.<br />
We also have a referral scheme. This applies if you send a lead or referral of a candidate that we<br />
hire to become an employee and the employee accepts the role.
Our referral scheme works as follows:<br />
Lead for a good candidate (name or LinkedIn profile – no R500<br />
contact details)<br />
Referral (CV and Contact Sent) R1 000<br />
The referral fee would be payed to your salary the month in which the new employee starts. The<br />
<strong>Internal</strong> Recruiter will alert finance that this money is to be payed to you.
