Correct Answer: Higher training and development costs
   


Solution : The correct answer is (b) Higher training and development costs.

A disadvantage of external recruitment is the potential for higher training and development costs. When organizations hire external candidates, especially those who are not familiar with the organization's processes, systems, and culture, they may require more extensive training and onboarding compared to internal candidates. External hires may need to be brought up to speed on job-specific skills, industry knowledge, company policies, and procedures. This can result in additional expenses for the organization in terms of training programs, resources, and time dedicated to the development of new hires.
