There's also the simple fact that an internal hire is strictly more work for management / hr to deal with.

If a certain position is filled from an internal transfer, that transfer leaves a new open position. Eventually, you need a hire a new person. A chain of internal transfers beforehand is just extra people to train and more paperwork to deal with.

The Japanese railway JRC or JRE can’t remember which one has a great program for this. Everyone being promoted needs to train their own replacement for leveling up. In practice or works great, and it is much easier to hire entry level then experienced and they even have their own university for training the entry level hires.
