Explanation:

To determine the advantage of internal recruiting, we analyze each option:

• The first option is incorrect because internal recruiting still has a risk of selecting inappropriate candidates (e.g., a candidate may not be a good fit for the new role despite being a good employee otherwise).
• The second option is correct. Internal recruiting is less costly and time - consuming as the company already has knowledge about internal candidates, reducing the need for extensive external advertising, screening of unknown candidates, etc.
• The third option is not an advantage. Creating another vacancy is more of a consequence and not a positive aspect of internal recruiting from the perspective of filling a position.
• The fourth option is incorrect as internal candidates usually require less training time since they are already familiar with the company's processes, culture, etc.

Answer:

B. It is less costly and time - consuming relative to external recruiting.
