In HR, what process involves attracting and selecting candidates for a position?

• A. Teleworking
• B. Training
• C. Accountability
• D. Recruitment

Answer: (D)

Attracting and selecting candidates for a position falls under recruitment. Recruitment is the process used by HR to fill vacancies by drawing in applicants and then choosing the best fit for the role. Attracting candidates involves activities like job postings, employer branding, campus recruiting, and outreach to potential applicants. Selecting candidates means screening applications, conducting interviews, administering assessments if needed, and selecting the person who best matches the job requirements and organizational culture.

Teleworking refers to where work is done, not how a position is filled. Training focuses on developing employees’ skills after they’re hired, and accountability deals with responsibility and performance tracking rather than the hiring process.
