Why should I hire you from the outside when I could promote someone from within?

Maybe he/she is not qualifying the criteria you need for promotion.

Maybe they don't have any complete knowledge about the subject. So searching for others more knowledge and skilled persons.

Sir if that was so then you should not have been in this room interviewing us!

Sir,

You are not only hiring an employee from outside, you are hiring new talent, new ideas and innovation.

I am too sorry that because every company searching fresh talent for their company so I am best suitable for this position.

Everybody has its own ability, not 5 fingers are equal so company can get best employee with innovation ideas and creativity which would be future of the company.

Thank you.

If you are hiring from outside then it means that you are searching for a creative, fresh energetic and a guy with new ideas.

There is always a difference in having drinking water from your own well and packaged water delivered to you.

You see, there's something that counts as 'experience' in job.

As an insider person would have more experience, he would be an apt choice.

But it's applicable when you are concerned with only getting the job done.

Contrary to that, when a new person joins a company, he'd see it through a new angle, since his mind is still fresh, he'd be ready to try new things, instead of following the old procedure. And it has a high chance of improving the efficiency of your company.

So it would be better to hire someone like me who has a mind for analysis, rather than someone who'd just be more than happy to keep the ways as they are and stagnating the progress.

Yes sir, promoting an existing employee is a very good and positive approach but like upgrade to new technologies from old one it is always much effective that fresh new thought mixed with an experienced thought.
