Question

Which of the following is not an external source of recruitment?

• A. Jobbers and contractors
• B. Advertising
• C. Employment Exchanges
• D. Transfers

Answer 1

The correct option is D Transfers

The external source of recruitment is when the job is given to someone outside the business who has been selected through proper job interviews and tests. Jobbers, contractors, Employment Exchanges are all external sources of recruitment and the job is offered to a person who is not acquainted with the organization and its work.

On the other hand, a transfer is an internal source of recruitment in which workers from the organization itself are used to fill the vacant job positions. In transfer, the worker from one job position shifts to another in the same organization at the same level. For example, a worker who is a supervisor in the production department is transferred to the position of supervisor in the sales department.

Hence, option (D) is the correct answer.
