FEEDBACK

1 / 1 (100.0%) Answer: Former employees

A frequently overlooked source of new employees is the pool of former employees who have been laid off or who have quit. Many employees quit for temporary reasons but would like to be considered for employment at a later date.

The company may receive an overwhelming number of applicants

It may have adverse impact on minorities

Offering only web-based options for job applications may have an adverse impact on minorities, who may be less likely to have convenient or reliable access to the Internet.

11. When using education institutions as a source for applicants, which type of educational institution is usually best for skilled trades and technical positions?

o

Universities

o

Vocational Schools

High Schools

Colleges

FEEDBACK 1 / 1 (100.0%) Answer: Vocational Schools
