Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 3- Recommendation of an Employee.

In this scenario, the source of recruitment being used by the company is the "Recommendation of an Employee."

* Recommendations of Employees: Applicants introduced by present employees, or their friends and relatives may prove to be a good source of recruitment. Such applicants are likely to be good employees because their background is sufficiently known. A type of preliminary screening takes place because the present employees know both the company and the candidates and they would try to satisfy both.
