Recruitment consultants are usually involved in the early stages of the recruitment and 
selection process, e.g. advising on job descriptions, designing job advertisements, screening 
applications and assisting with short-listing of candidates for interview. They frequently 
conduct the first round of interviews. 
Consultants are not normally involved in deciding which of the short-listed candidates 
should get the job.
Statement two, however, is correct. The two other key elements of an interview are to find 
the best person for the job and to ensure that the candidate understands what the job is 
and what the career prospects are. The interviewing process also impacts on the 
company’s image. 
245 D 
You can remember Rodger’s seven-point plan using the acronym SCIPDAG – special 
aptitudes, circumstances, interests, physical makeup, disposition and attainments. 
246 D 
External recruitment will involve advertising and other recruitment costs, as well as (in 
many cases) higher wages being offered. 
247 C 
Both statements are correct. 
248 D 
Diversity is perceived to enrich an organisation’s human capital. 
249 B 
Some organisations set themselves goals on the representation of certain groups to address 
the problem of under-representation. 
250 B 
This is an example of indirect discrimination as it may disadvantage certain groups – such as 
those who have children. 
251 B – FALSE
Positive discrimination is typically illegal. 
252 C 
‘Equal opportunities’ is typically required by legislation. Diversity goes beyond this and is an 
attempt to make the organisation truly inclusive.
