Job vacancies

Definition
Posts, either newly created, unoccupied or about to become vacant, which the employer actively seeks to fill with a suitable candidate from outside the enterprise either immediately or in the near future. Although the definition states that job vacancies should be open to candidates from outside the enterprise, this does not exclude the possibility of appointing internal candidates to the posts. Posts that are open to internal candidates only, however are not considered as job vacancies.
