The following happened several years ago when working in another company, but same policy is also used where I work.
One of the managers had to fill up one position for some kind of technical support position. He had two options:
- try to transfer one of our colleagues that worked within another department
OR - hire a new person
After several interviews, he realized that had to choose between two very similar candidates:
- the internal one, who also wanted to be transferred.
- a good candidate
However, the internal policy specified that an existing employee could not transferred and have a salary raise more than x%.
I am wondering why having such a policy that puts a barrier for getting a good candidate for a job. An existing employee can be preferable as he/she is familiar with the company culture and also might be motivated by a change.
I asked a few persons about this policy, but nobody seems to have an explanation about why it is there.

Before you VTC as Company-specific regulation, note that 1. OP asked around and received no response, 2. policy in question is quite common, therefore not company-specific, 3. question is about the rationale of such policies
