Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hector's poor reputation is likely to result in fewer high-quality applicants (A), higher turnover of current employees (B), and difficulty in recruiting top performers (D), as these individuals will likely choose to work for competing firms with better reputations. However, it is unlikely to result in lower total costs of recruiting and selection, as the company may need to incur additional expenses to attract and retain talent due to its poor reputation.
