Which term is the formal process of obtaining approval to hire someone into a new position?

• A. Onboarding
• B. Selection
• C. Requisition
• D. Promotion

Answer: (C)

The idea being tested is obtaining formal authorization to hire into a new position. This is done through a job requisition, a formal request that goes through approval channels (such as a manager, finance, and HR) to justify the need for a new role, outline responsibilities and qualifications, specify the salary range, and confirm the budget and headcount. Only after this requisition is approved does the recruiting process begin. By contrast, onboarding happens after a candidate is hired to integrate them into the organization; selection is the process of evaluating and choosing among candidates; and promotion moves an existing employee into a higher role.
