QUESTION

Which means of recruiting workers might be least effective in obtaining the numbers of contingent workers needed for Greeley & Gatsby’s proposed expansion?

A) employee enlistment, offering workers a bonus or free vacation for finding a suitable financial advisor
B) internal recruitment, using a web-based page available to current employees only
C) Internet recruitment, using public websites and other forms of virtual listings to solicit online applications and resumes
D) use of a staffing company with a database of available, qualified financial advisors seeking employment
E) on-campus recruitment, focusing on business administration students with superior academic records

ANSWER

Answer: B
Explanation: B) There are many ways to recruit and locate qualified contingent employees, but limiting availability of the job notice to current employees is not one. So Choice B is correct: as full-time employees are not likely to choose to move to contingent status, this strategy would not work. The other options, however, all have merit and would, in various ways, get the word out to potentially interested workers.
