Instituting a hiring freeze would be the best choice for Rita's company since they have an excess of workers. It would not make sense to hire more workers or subcontract work when there are already too many workers. Internal or external recruitment would also not be ideal as the company is already overstaffed. Scheduling overtime hours may also not be sustainable in the long term and may cause employee burnout. A hiring freeze would allow the company to maintain the current workforce until the economic situation improves.
