Read the first 7 Recruitment and Sourcing Strategies flashcards as text

  1. Which approach to workforce planning MOST directly informs recruitment strategy development?

    Answer: Forecasting future staffing needs based on organizational goals and turnover data

    Workforce planning forecasts supply and demand for labor, giving recruiters a data-driven basis for when and how to source candidates.

  2. The '80% rule' (four-fifths rule) in recruitment is used to evaluate:

    Answer: Adverse impact of a selection procedure on a protected group

    The four-fifths rule compares selection rates between groups; a rate below 80% of the highest group's rate signals potential adverse impact.

  3. Which sourcing approach is MOST appropriate when recruiting for a highly specialized technical role with a small labor market?

    Answer: Partnership with professional associations and niche job boards

    Niche job boards and professional associations concentrate the small pool of specialized talent, increasing sourcing efficiency.

  4. In CODESP examinations, a 'continuous filing' recruitment process means:

    Answer: Candidates may apply at any time and are assessed on a rolling basis

    Continuous filing allows applications to be accepted and evaluated on an ongoing basis rather than during a single restricted period.

  5. Which of the following is an example of 'employment branding' as a recruitment strategy?

    Answer: Showcasing organizational culture and employee value proposition to attract candidates

    Employment branding communicates what makes the organization a desirable employer, attracting candidates who align with its values and culture.

  6. When a public agency uses an eligibility list from a previous examination cycle to fill a new vacancy, this practice is known as:

    Answer: Certification from a ranked list

    Certification from a ranked list allows agencies to use existing eligible candidates from prior exams to fill vacancies without conducting a new recruitment.

  7. Which factor MOST increases the risk of bias entering the recruitment process during resume screening?

    Answer: Allowing individual reviewers to screen without standardized criteria

    Unstructured, unstandardized resume review allows individual biases and inconsistent judgments to influence which candidates advance.
