Which of the following is NOT a proactive hiring procedure? a. conducting background investigations on prospective employees b.
learning how to interpret responses to inquiries of references about job candidates c. thoroughly checking references provided d. instilling in employees a desire to develop ethical awareness and courage to do the right thing
The correct answer is letter "D": instilling in employees a desire to develop ethical awareness and courage to do the right thing.
Explanation:
Proactive hiring procedures are practices performed by the <em>Human Resources (HR) Department</em> of a company by which prospective employees are contacted not necessarily when there is an opening in the company but to establish a relationship with those individuals.
Thus, <em>instilling in employees a desire to develop ethical awareness and courage to do the right thing is an activity developed when people are already hired in a firm</em>. Then, it is not part of proactive hiring.
