I feel like I’ve seen something about labor unions being more about worker rights than recruiting, so maybe that’s the odd one out here.

I’m a bit confused. Aren’t agencies just another term for employment agencies? I feel like I need to double-check that one.

I remember practicing a question like this, and I think outplacement firms are also considered external. So, I’m leaning towards labor unions as the answer.

Hmm, this is a tricky one. I'm not entirely sure which Cisco UCM feature would be used to manage these communication policies. I'll have to think through the options carefully.

Okay, I think I've got it. The sponsor authorizes the budget for the service, so the missing word must be "provision" - that makes the most sense to me. Feeling confident about this one.

I feel uncertain about option D; I learned that secondary data can sometimes come with biases, so I don't think it guarantees no bias.
