Inter departmental transfer or promote the existing employee to fill your vacancy is a good idea of which you are providing your existing employee with career development and this closest with your company objectives. Yet, I do believe since you have post this vacancy to be open for the outsiders candidates thus surely I knew that you are looking for a candidate that could bring something new and fresh towards to your company's goal,

Before answering to this question, I would like you to answer one question. What is the purpose of conducting interview?

Something Hr will reply like to judge your skills.

Ok the same way once you hired me I will come with certain question to the client whom I am working for during the project. Provide client with full satisfaction of work that results in client appreciation for team members, myself and also for company.

It's a very valid question. As per me promoting existing staff will help to motivate them. But employees working in the same organization for a long time will monotonous in their approach to think creatively. Hiring from a different organization will help to a fresh and different approach to work. It surely helps by sharing new ideas and methods to work.

Sir, as I think,

Hiring a Fresher is, Hiring a Fresh Idea.

Which is required by the organisation, not may be at every point of time, but, definitely at certain Intervals.

I completely agree the people currently working are much more knowledgeable than the newcomers. But, One thing that I would like to bring to your notice is that the people who use technology the most is the young generation.

So, sir as I belong to them, I know what they want and expect from the upcoming technology, which definitely will be beneficial for the organisation.

The company might be thinking that Old broom knows the corners of the house but the new broom cleans the floor better. I'm sure you are looking for a combination of both and that why I'm getting interviewed today.
