Which step involves advertising the job using appropriate media?

• A. Identify type and number of staff needed
• B. Carry out interviews
• C. Advertise the job using appropriate media
• D. Give feedback to unsuccessful applicants

Answer: (C)

When recruiting, the key activity is attracting applicants by sharing the vacancy through suitable channels. Advertising the job using appropriate media means choosing where to publish the vacancy—like job boards, the company website, newspapers, or social media—so the right people see it. This step is all about getting notice and inviting applications. The other steps serve different roles: deciding how many and what type of staff are needed is planning, carrying out interviews is assessing candidates, and giving feedback to unsuccessful applicants happens after the interviews. So the step that involves advertising the job using appropriate media is the advertising itself.
