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.

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.
