1. Organizations have two choices from where to source candidates for jobs: external or internal. Each has its pros and cons. For this unit's post, select a sourcing option, internal or external, and discuss some pros and cons for your choice. You may want to conduct additional research to gain a better understanding of the ripple effect each one has.
2. Sometimes organizations are blessed to have a multitude of candidates to choose from for a job. More often than not, however, there are few candidates to choose from and none are optimal candidates for the job. This generally results in one of two possible choices: 1) Reject all applicants and re-open the job to try and get more applicants; or 2) Hire the candidate who is good enough to do the job but who may not be the best fit. What pros and cons exist with each of these routes? What do we mean by best fit?
