Arrange the activities of the recruitment process in a proper sequence.

(A) Identification of the different sources of labour supply

(B) Choosing the most suitable source or sources

(C) Assessment of their validity

(D) Inviting applications from the prospective candidates for the vacancies

Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

Option 1 -> This sequence suggests choosing sources before assessing their validity, which is not logical as you need to evaluate sources before making a selection.

Option 2 -> This follows the logical flow: identify sources → assess their validity → choose suitable ones → invite applications. This is the systematic approach to recruitment.

Option 3 -> This sequence suggests choosing sources before even identifying them, which is impossible and illogical in any recruitment process.

Option 4 -> This sequence suggests assessing validity before identification, which contradicts the basic principle that you must first identify sources before evaluating them.

Hence, Option 2: (A), (C), (B), (D) -> The recruitment process logically begins with identifying different labour supply sources (A), then assessing their validity and effectiveness (C), followed by choosing the most suitable sources based on the assessment (B), and finally inviting applications from prospective candidates through the selected sources (D). This systematic approach ensures informed decision-making in the recruitment process -> correct
