C. closed recruitment

D. targeted recruitment

Answer:

The answer is closed recruitment (option C)

Explanation:

Closed Recruitment can be defined as the type of recruitment that takes place 'in house'. In other words, there is no need for an external advertisement of vacancy because candidates needed to fill in vacant job roles or positions of a firm are selected from the existing pool of employees in the firm. Firms carry out closed recruitment by looking into the files of people who have the skills needed to occupy the vacant role and selecting/appointing who is best fitted for the role.
