问题     As the unemployment rate sits at just 3. 7%, employers are getting so desperate for talent that they’re throwing hiring parties with free food and swag to lure in new talent.
    Taco Bell beefed up its hiring efforts recently by throwing its first-ever hiring party in Indiana, inviting job seekers into one of its restaurants for games, nacho fries, watermelon freezes, and gift cards. Attendees were also given the opportunity to interview on the spot and learn about the company’s benefits.
    "The hiring party is really a play on the old school job fair that used to take place at colleges or at the restaurants where people come in and give their resume," Bjorn Erland, vice president of human resources at Taco Bell, told Moneyish. "The key was making it interactive and casual, but also if they wanted to interview and get hired, that was available as well!"
    Taco Bell reported nearly 75 in-person applicants and 40 new hires—more than 50% of the typical 20% hiring rate—and received more than 300 online job applications as a result of the job fiesta. The fast food giant plans to roll out the hiring party program nationally next year.
    With the unemployment rate at its lowest since 1969, restaurant owners and managers are especially concerned about attracting and retaining top talent. In fact, 65% of restaurant, hospitality and entertainment decision-makers said hiring new employees was a top operational priority, up from 55% in 2017, according to The Gallagher 2018 Benefits Strategy &- Benchmarking Survey. And nearly three quarters (74%) said getting and retaining talent was a top HR priority, the report also found.
    "Job seekers are in the driver’s seat," said Bill Ziebell, president of Gallagher Employee Benefits Consulting and Brokerage. "The number of unemployed workers is at a historic low, and it’s quite common that today’s job seeker will receive multiple job offers and do immediate employer comparisons. This is happening in restaurants and countless other industries. In addition to their cash compensation, they do look at benefits packages and other people investments—such as work scheduling flexibility, paid-time off, and community involvement—side-by-side and know which employer is more heavily invested in their future and overall well-being. "  
A hiring party is________.

选项 A、a party for celebrating having hired some people
B、a formal interview for a group of people
C、an informal party where a company interviews people
D、an informal party where job hunters ask about their benefits

答案C

解析 事实细节题。第一段指出,雇主招不到渴望的人才,只能通过办一些招聘派对并提供免费食物的方式吸引人才。第三段最后一句提到,招聘派对的关键就是要具有互动性和随意性。由此可知,招聘派对应该是非正式的企业面试求职者的活动,It项表述正确,故为答案。A项和B项表述与原文不符,故排除;第二段最后一句提到,求职者得到现场面试的机会,并且能够了解公司的福利,D项只是招聘派对的内容之一,不具有概括性,故排除。
