Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

If the company recently instituted a technical skills improvement program for shop floor employees, it has no relevance to internal recruitment of employees from lower level management. If the existing shop floor employees have high potential and personal ambition to rise in their careers, it has no relevance to the internal recruitment of entry level employees. Sirius Corp. opening a new facility is out of scope from the present decision. If several top performing employees have received offers from rival companies, the management has to consider internal recruitment due to fear of losing them, hence strengthening their decision. As the majority of the company employees have only a basic level of education, the company needs to hire talent from external sources. This weakens their decision.
