Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Both (A) and (R) are true and (R) is the correct explanation of (A).
Assertion (A): Employees can make a good referral decision when they recommend candidates to their company. — True. Richard Lobo, head HR of Infosys, says that employees can make a good referral decision. Most hiring at Infosys now takes place through the referral route.
Reason (R): Employees understand the aspirations of the candidates they refer as well as the requirements and culture of the company. — True. An employee knows both sides: what the candidate wants, and what the company needs.
Why R explains A?
The employee knows the candidate’s aspirations, so he can tell whether the job suits that person. He also knows the company’s requirements and culture, so he can tell whether the person suits the company. Because of this, he recommends only people who fit on both sides, and the referral turns out good.
