Bezique spends a large amount on recruitment (included within staff costs) to support growth. True or false?

• A. False
• B. True
• C. It is not spent
• D. It is spent but not included

Answer: (B)

Recruitment costs are a form of staff cost because they relate to hiring people and building the workforce. When a company like Bezique spends a lot on recruitment in order to grow, those expenses are typically categorized as part of staff costs in financial reporting. Treating recruitment as an HR expense reflects that the spend is about acquiring personnel to support growth, not a separate capital investment. Therefore, the statement is true. The other options would imply either no spending or a misclassification, which doesn’t match the usual treatment of recruitment as part of staff costs.
