Does a company have to advertise a job? It is a non-profit company and not a public company. We have a vacancy we would like to fill and a volunteer is doing the job currently. Can we just employ her without having to go to the expense of advertising and recruiting? ES
Thanks for that, people keep saying we should advertise because we are seen to be an equal opps employer but she is perfect for the job and has proved it by working as a volunteer so we do not want to go through the advertising process at an expense we haven't got. Thanks for that. ES
Legally you can just appoint her. It is good practice though, I suggest, to advertise the role internally and allow her to apply if you think there are others in the organisation who could be considered or would be upset if they weren't able to apply.
