Solution
The following are two scenarios in which using external sources is permissible without upsetting the current workforce:
- When a new company is about to launch, hiring personnel from outside sources is necessary. There won't be any existing employees because the company is brand new, so there won't be any unhappiness among them.
- When a company needs to hire employees with specific skills, talents, or qualifications that are not possessed by its current staff, it may use external sources of recruitment. The organizations may use external sources of recruitment if the current workforce is insufficient or does not meet the requirements of the open positions.
