Question 1 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Filling a job vacancy by appointing someone already working in the business is called:

  1. Redundancy
  2. Dismissal
  3. Internal recruitment
  4. External recruitment
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Internal recruitment
Award 1 mark. Internal recruitment promotes or transfers someone already employed, which is quicker and cheaper because the candidate's ability is already known and no induction into the organisation is needed. The cost is that it recycles existing experience and leaves a second vacancy behind.
Question 2 · 1 mark · Difficulty 1/3

Training carried out away from the normal workplace, for example at a college, is called:

  1. Induction only
  2. Appraisal
  3. Off-the-job training
  4. On-the-job training
Show answer & explanation
✓ Answer: C — Off-the-job training
Award 1 mark. Off-the-job training happens away from the workstation, typically at a college or with an external provider, and it suits skills that cannot be taught on the premises or that need a recognised qualification. It usually costs more than on-the-job training, because the business pays a provider and loses the employee's output while they are away.

AQA GCSE Business Studies: Human Resources FAQ

Is Kramizo free for AQA GCSE students preparing for Business Studies?
Yes — completely free. Every student gets 45 questions a day on the free plan, with no card required and no trial countdown. That free quota works across every subject and every topic in our bank, so you can mix Human Resources practice with other Business Studies topics or even switch to a totally different AQA subject without paying anything. Kramizo's optional Pro plan removes the daily cap and adds detailed progress analytics, but the free tier is the real product — used by thousands of GCSE, IGCSE and CSEC students.
Are the Human Resources questions aligned to the official AQA GCSE Business Studies syllabus?
Every question is written against the published AQA GCSE Business Studies specification, including the exact command words (state, describe, explain, calculate, evaluate, etc.), mark allocations, and difficulty tier you'd see on a real AQA paper. Explanations are written in the style of official examiner mark schemes — they tell you what is being awarded marks and why distractors are wrong, not just whether you got it right. The bank is continually refined to match the latest syllabus updates from AQA.
How is Human Resources typically tested on AQA GCSE Business Studies papers?
Human Resources appears across multiple question types on real AQA GCSE Business Studies papers — most commonly as multiple-choice questions in the objective section, structured short-answer questions in the main paper, and occasionally as part of an extended response. Kramizo's practice bank reflects that mix: 4-option MCQs, true/false statements, fill-in-the-blank key terms, multi-select questions, and ordering questions. Working through the bank gives you exposure to every question style examiners actually use.
