External candidates bring fresh perspectives, ideas, and experiences and can contribute to the organization in a unique way. They can bring in new knowledge and skills that may not be available in the current workforce, fostering innovation and growth. Therefore, recruiting external candidates can be an advantage for organizations. Options B and C are incorrect as there is no evidence to support the claims that external recruitment and selection costs are lower or there is less internal disruption. Option D is not entirely correct as the organization may not have more and better information about external candidates compared to internal candidates who have a performance record and are already familiar with the organization.
