Why might ABC need to recruit new staff?

• A. To reduce production lines
• B. To acquire scientists, engineers, and technicians with specialist knowledge of e-waste processing and metals recovery
• C. To replace external consultants
• D. To close labs

Answer: (B)

Recruitment is about bringing in people with the skills the business currently lacks and needs to perform its specialized work. In this case, ABC requires scientists, engineers, and technicians with deep knowledge of e-waste processing and metals recovery to design, operate, and improve the recovery processes, ensure safety, and meet environmental regulations. Hiring these specialists builds internal capability, supports efficient production, and helps drive innovation, rather than relying on external help or reducing capacity. Other options wouldn’t address the need for technical expertise and could weaken the operation by cutting staff or resources.
