Quick student answer
Explain how an online service business can use primary research to improve its HR recruitment process.
Direct answer
An online service business can conduct surveys and interviews with current employees and potential candidates to gather data on skills, motivations and workplace preferences. By analysing this primary data, the business can identify gaps between required competencies and available talent, refine job descriptions, and tailor recruitment channels to attract suitable applicants.
How it works
Primary research provides up‑to‑date, specific information directly from the target group, allowing the business to align its recruitment strategy with real employee needs and market expectations.
Key terms
- Economies of scale: The cost advantage that arises when a firm increases production, leading to a lower average cost per unit.
Common trap
Confusing fixed and variable costs: Fixed costs stay constant regardless of production level, while variable costs rise or fall with the quantity produced.
