Short explanation
In this objective, Explain the difference between internal and external recruitment and analyse benefits and drawbacks of each sits within Recruitment and selection and Recruitment and selection of employees for AQA GCSE Business 8132. Use a business such as MetroMove serves commuters while opening a second outlet; the case evidence includes net profit margin of ?7,447, sales of 797 units, and a 26% change in costs or demand to keep the explanation applied. The important reasoning is to connect external recruitment, recruitment with the business objective, the financial implication, and the effect on suppliers. Avoid treating gross and net profit as the same thing. A high-quality answer should explain the commercial trade-off, use precise evidence, and finish with a judgement that depends on the context rather than a generic definition.
