Answer 1

d. internal recruitment

Step-by-step explanation:

Internal recruitment is a human resources strategy that seeks to fill vacant job positions from the existing workforce. In internal recruitment, existing employees are given priority whenever a senior position becomes available. The business will usually request qualified and willing employees to apply for the job. The successful applicant will then be promoted to a new role.

Internal recruitment may also involve employees moving within the same level but of different roles. Advantages of internal recruitment include.

1. Quicker and more affordable to recruit
2. Existing employees are familiar with the business and its operations
3. Promotions within the company are a motivating factor for employees.
4. The business knows the strengths and weaknesses of each employee.
