Explanation: 1. The purpose of recruitment activities is to generate a pool of qualified applicants. The
interview may go well but is incorrect in the selection process because it does not assess a
candidate?s abilities. A candidate?s motivation is not relative to the requirements. Assessing the
candidate?s work experience does not describe the characteristics needed for the job.
