External recruitment can bring into the organisation what?

• A. Lower costs
• B. New insights, skills and abilities brought into the organisation
• C. Immediate productivity equal to existing staff
• D. No induction training required

Answer: (B)

When you hire from outside the organization, you bring in people with different experiences, knowledge, and ways of working. This introduces new insights, skills, and abilities that aren’t currently available in the existing team. Those fresh perspectives can fill gaps in expertise, introduce new techniques, and boost innovation, helping the business adapt and grow.

Costs and productivity considerations explain why the other ideas aren’t as reliable. External hires often involve higher upfront costs (recruitment, onboarding, potential relocation) and take time to reach full productivity because they need to learn the company’s systems and culture. Induction or onboarding is usually required to get them up to speed, so the notion that no induction is needed isn’t accurate.
