Which term refers to the group of most suitable candidates for a job?

• A. Shortlist
• B. CV
• C. Job description
• D. Internal recruitment

Answer: (A)

Shortlist is the group of most suitable candidates for a job selected after initial screening. It represents the subset who best match the criteria and are invited to the next stage, typically interviews or tests. This makes the recruitment process more efficient and fair by focusing on those with the strongest fit. A CV is the applicant's resume; a job description is the outline of duties and requirements; internal recruitment means filling the role from employees already working for the company.
