Your manager is very concerned about the cost of hiring the three new employees needed for your unit. As a result, she doesn’t want to post the advertisement in a variety of places; she thinks it’s best to just use a “refer a friend” recruitment strategy.

You are concerned that this method of recruitment lacks diversity.
