Question

Alan frequently attends professional presentations and training seminars at his workplace. At one of these presentations, it was announced that a new supervisory position in Alan's department was about to be created and that there would be a formal search for potential candidates. Which of the following recruiting methods is being exemplified in this scenario?a. Direct application

b. Job posting
c. Advertisements
d. Word of mouth
e. Supervisory recommendation

Answer 1

d. Word of mouth

Step-by-step explanation:

In the given instance it is very clear that there is an announcement in the seminar. This clearly represents the word of mouth. As there is no job posting officially on the web site or newspaper. Also there is no recommendation from any supervisor that there is any need to get a person recruited and this is the person.

In fact there is a straight announcement to ensure the recruitment vacancy. This is the basic conclusion from such scenario and this will be termed as Word of mouth.
