Which action is associated with External Resourcing?

• A. Contact former employees
• B. Contact previous applicants
• C. Post the position on career sites
• D. Post the position on the company intranet

Answer: (C)

External resourcing means looking for candidates from outside the organization rather than from within. Putting the job on external career sites reaches people who aren’t current or former employees and aren’t part of the company’s internal network. That broader pool is what external resourcing relies on to bring in new skills and perspectives from outside. In contrast, reaching out to former employees or previous applicants uses people who already know the company, which is internal or previously engaged talent. Posting on the company intranet targets current staff, so it’s also internal resourcing. So posting the position on external career sites best aligns with external resourcing.
