Answer to Question 1

B

Answer to Question 2

Answer: Outsourcing, offshoring, contingent workers, and overtime are alternatives to recruitment. Even when HR planning indicates a need for additional employees, a firm may decide against increasing the size of its workforce. Recruitment and selection costs are significant when you consider all the related expenses. Contingent workers provide firms with a high degree of flexibility, which is beneficial during financial ups and downs. Overtime minimizes the need to select and train new employees. Therefore, a firm should consider these alternatives before engaging in recruitment.
