What is recruitment?

• A. The process of promoting employees
• B. The process of attracting and selecting suitable candidates
• C. The process of training employees
• D. The process of disciplining staff

Answer: (B)

Recruitment is about filling a vacancy by finding people who could do the job and then choosing the best fit from those applicants. It involves attracting potential candidates through ads, job boards, agencies, or internal notices, and then selecting the most suitable person to hire. This makes it the right description for the process described in the option that talks about attracting and selecting suitable candidates. The other activities refer to different HR actions: promoting employees moves existing staff into new roles, training develops skills of current employees, and disciplining enforces rules or consequences for behavior.
