A vacancy is filled by someone not currently employed by the organisation.

• A. Internal Recruitment
• B. External Recruitment
• C. Redundancy
• D. Full-time Employment

Answer: (B)

The idea being tested is where the candidate comes from when filling a vacancy. If the person chosen is not currently employed by the organization, you are hiring from outside, which is external recruitment. This approach brings in new skills or ideas and expands the pool of applicants beyond current staff. Internal recruitment would mean promoting or transferring someone already on the payroll. Redundancy is about eliminating a job, not filling one. Full-time employment describes how many hours the job requires, not the source of the applicant.
