Which of the following correctly places the steps of the staffing process in their usual sequence?

The usual order is estimating manpower requirements, then recruitment, then selection, followed by placement and orientation. Need must be determined first, applicants must be attracted before they can be chosen, and only selected people can be placed on jobs and oriented.

  1. ARecruitment, estimating manpower requirements, selection, placement and orientation
  2. BSelection, recruitment, estimating manpower requirements, placement and orientation
  3. CEstimating manpower requirements, recruitment, selection, placement and orientationCorrect
  4. DEstimating manpower requirements, selection, recruitment, placement and orientation

Explanation

Staffing starts with estimating manpower needs, then recruitment creates a pool of applicants, selection chooses among them, and placement and orientation follow. Recruitment must come before selection, which rules out options B and D. Recruitment before estimating needs, as in A, is also illogical.
