Guest: As an HR manager, I am responsible for recruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy. It doesnt sound like a big deal but now its become a difficult and costly task. If you appoi

10、nt the wrong person, its gonna be a very expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department. And you know， it is much more difficult to dismiss someone than it is to employ him. Interviewer: Oh, really, as a staff member of the radio station, Im actually quite happy to k

11、now that. Well, what do you have to decide first when there is a vacancy? Guest: My first decision would be whether to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company.
