Most organizations have to create a formal requisition for the new job. This posting sometimes has to go through legal departments to ensure that requirements are met. These could include union requirements or labor relations requirements for internal postings first, then proper external postings if an internal candidate is not qualified/promotable, etc. In some cases the position may require an H-1B visa holder if a qualified person does not apply (really touchy subject). There are other requirements to be cognizant of, particularly if the position can be filled by someone returning to the organization off of disability, FMLA, or military Guard or Reserve service to our great Nation. In many cases those persons will fill the new job if they are qualified for it. It is rare when you can get a good external candidate hired and in place before the 2-week or even 30 day notice expires for the departing employee.A rehire, provided it is someone *good* who left on good terms and is going back into the same old job generally, but not always, removes all of the requirements above. In many cases an organization that convinces someone to rehire for their old job after a few weeks out will sometimes get their seniority back, too. This saves thousands of dollars in retraining. Some companies do keep an old position open for a few weeks to allow someone to change their mind. In this economy it is a rarity.What I have found, however, is that they wiil leave a second time within a year or less. When that happens they really need to stay gone because they are not happy. Granted there are exceptions to this.
i always ask that one myself personally it has to start with skill experience and technique plus how long long you ve worked for and if you wish to keep on working for.
