When we have a position available, we go through our roster and their skill sets and offer the role to the individual prior to going outside.

So you choose someone, versus posting it for anyone interested to apply?

We make it available to those who have the necessary skill sets. Could be many... could be one. Depends on the role.

Yes, and all internal postings include level number that directly relates to a pay range and the hiring Manager's email address.

A previous employer stated that internal job searches were kept confidential but when your application was being routed through the system, it somehow was not and I believe this didn't reflect positively on candidates who chose not to disclose this information during their search.
I never felt comfortable applying. It worked out great if you were hired but I tend to think that it was held against you if you weren't.

That is my worst fear that candidates feel that way. I agree there needs to be a confidential process, and in the same light, employees should feel open to speak with their Managers. It is the job of the TA/HR team to ensure that process is done well.
