in managing the recruitment process, an HR manager should identify a pool of qualified applicants by:

a$.$ selecting a consistent recruitment strategy for all open positions at the company, and hiring only external candidates.

b$.$ evaluating internal candidates only $-$ this will help retain employees because they have an opportunity to be promoted.

c$.$ evaluating and selecting both internal and external candidates based on job specifications which are the result of an analysis of the job$/$position$.$
