Where can jobs be posted externally?

• A. Internet sites, billboards, profession-specific publications, job fairs, and professional search firms
• B. Internal postings only
• C. Word of mouth
• D. Company newsletters

Answer: (A)

External posting means making a vacancy visible to people outside the organization. The channels listed—online job sites, billboards, profession-specific publications, job fairs, and professional search firms—are all designed to reach external job seekers and to widen the candidate pool beyond current employees. Online sites and job fairs actively connect with people seeking new opportunities; trade publications target professionals in specific fields; billboards increase local visibility; professional search firms specialize in finding candidates who aren’t in the company. In contrast, internal postings are limited to current staff, and word of mouth or company newsletters typically don’t provide the formal reach needed for external recruitment. So this set of channels best fits external postings.
