Here’s another way HR can get more out of the company intranet - by using it to post job openings for internal recruiting.

A lot of companies look to current employees for promotions or lateral movements when there are jobs to fill. It can boost retention rates and save a lot of time and cash in the recruiting process.

But the problem is that not enough companies make it easy for employees to see open jobs or apply for them. Your intranet can help.

It’s as easy as keeping a section of company news and including updates about open positions, along with information about how to be considered. (Having a section of news that’s updated often is a good way to keep people checking the intranet, in general.)

Also, some companies have a dedicated section of the intranet that lists jobs and lets employees submit applications electronically.

Finally, posting the jobs on the intranet should be used in conjunction with other ways of getting the word out. You aren’t guaranteed to reach everyone in the company who might be interested in a different, but the goal is to inform as many people as possible.
