Frequently asked questions

Do I need my manager's approval to apply internally?+

Policies differ; many require only that the manager is informed at shortlisting, not approval to apply.

Is there a minimum tenure for internal job postings?+

Most companies set one, often between 12 and 18 months in the current role. Check your IJP policy.

What happens to my salary on an internal move?+

It is reviewed against the new role; a move does not automatically mean an increase.
