The correct order is D: III, V, I, IV, II — Planning → Strategy Development → Searching → Screening → Evaluation and Control.
Planning: Departments raise vacancy requests and HR categorises them by role and hierarchy.
Strategy Development: HR develops a sourcing strategy such as advertisements, employee referrals, or campus recruitment.
Searching: The strategy is implemented — recruiters source candidates via platforms like LinkedIn.
Screening: Candidates are evaluated through multiple rounds based on department requirements.
Evaluation and Control: The final stage where the effectiveness and validity of the recruitment process is assessed.
