Question:

'A clerk of a company is now appointed to the post of chief manager.'

Which method of recruitment is being highlighted here?

Options:

Transfer

Promotion

Web publishing

Campus recruitment

Correct Answer:

Promotion

Explanation:

The correct answer is option 2- Promotion.

It is the promotion, where a clerk, a lower-level employee, is moved to the chief manager position, a significantly higher-level role.

Promotions: Business enterprises generally follow the practice of filling higher jobs by promoting employees from lower jobs. Promotion leads to shifting an employee to a higher position, carrying higher responsibilities, facilities, status and pay. Promotion is a vertical shifting of employees. This is a source of internal recruitment.

 

OTHER OPTIONS

  • Transfers: It involves shifting of an employee from one job to another, one department to another or from one shift to another, without a substantive change in the responsibilities and status of the employee.
  • Web publishing- Internet is becoming a common source of recruitment these days. There are certain websites specifically designed and dedicated for the purpose of providing information about both job seekers and job opening. In fact, websites are very commonly visited both by the prospective employees and the organisations searching for suitable people.
  • Campus recruitment- Colleges and institutes of management and technology have become a popular source of recruitment for technical, professional and managerial jobs. Many big organisations maintain a close liaison with the universities, vocational schools and management institutes to recruit qualified personnel for various jobs. Recruitment from educational institutions is a well-established practice of businesses. This is referred to as campus recruitment.
