Question:

'ABC Limited is a company dealing in lights. Whenever the company is in need of daily wage workers, a notice is placed on the factory gate for the same.'

Identify the source of recruitment being used by the company.

Options:

Placement Agency

Direct Recruitment

Labour contractors

Advertising

Correct Answer:

Direct Recruitment

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Direct Recruitment.

In the given scenario, the company is directly recruiting daily wage workers by placing a notice on the factory gate. Therefore, the correct source of recruitment is "Direct Recruitment."

* Under the direct recruitment, a notice is placed on the notice-board of the enterprise specifying the details of the jobs available. Job seekers assemble outside the premises of the organisation on the specified date and selection is done on the spot. The practice of direct recruitment is followed usually for casual vacancies of unskilled or semi-skilled jobs. Such workers are known as casual or ‘badli’ workers and they are paid remuneration on daily wage basis. This method of recruitment is very inexpensive as it does not involve any cost of advertising the vacancies. It is suitable for filling casual vacancies when there is a rush of work or when some permanent workers are absent.
