Question

Assertion: The process of recruitment concludes with the correct placement of applicants.

Reason: Recruitment is concerned only with shortlisting candidates from a pool of candidates.

Options

• Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct explanation for Assertion.

• Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation for Assertion.

• Assertion is true and Reason is false.

• Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Answer 1

Both Assertion and Reason are false.

Explanation:

The claim is untrue since recruitment ends with the formation of a pool of qualified candidates rather than with their “placement”. One post-selection task is placement. The explanation is also untrue because “shortlisting” is actually the beginning of the selection process, whereas recruitment focuses on finding potential employees and encouraging them to apply for jobs.
