Recruiting insiders as a way of recruitment
which universities try to employ their
graduates has a long history. So, the aim of
the present study was to investigate status of
Iran's old universities about attracting and
recruiting the graduates of insider at
university and also, provide an integrated
wisdom about graduates of insider to
thinkers and policymakers of higher
edcuation with using a qualitative research
synthesis. Therefore, in initially all keywords
around insiders were emerged and then
special databases. A total of 48 studies were
identified and 29 twenty-nine of them were
selected purposefully as sample. In the
second section, researchers chose 4 Iran's old
universities by cluster sampling as sample.
To quality control of the data, CASP
checklist was conducted and also, code
reliability was used to integrate the data. To
analyze the data, conductive content analysis
was conducted. The results of first section
showed that we can view recruiting insiders
based on two themes which are challenges
and opportunities. The challenges are
academic development challenge;
professional development challenge;
