Is there a word for "outsourcing work to an internal employee/person"? [closed]
A company wouldn't say they, "outsourced their advertising to Jim", who is an employee of the company because that just doesn't sound right. What is a word similar to "outsource" in a situation like so?
Perhaps
The company assigned advertising to Jim.
Assign: (2) to give out or announce as a task: to assign homework.
If Jim is already employed by the company, then you are correct that the assign would not properly be called outsourcing.
