0.1 · Application

1. HR: kindness, police, or something else?

Kindness toward everyone Making the right people stay and grow (attract, develop, retain, administer) Policing employees Paperwork

Four verbs: neither the management camp nor the employee camp — fairness as the compass.

0.1 · Application

2. How does HR carry weight with management?

It carries no weight Through its seniority Through its charisma Through data (headcount, turnover, payroll, skills) that informs decisions

Data + anticipation: seated at the committee table, it foresees instead of enduring.

0.1 · Recall

3. Which one is NOT an HR verb?

Retain and administer Judging musical tastes Attract Develop

Recruit, develop, retain, administer: tastes are not on the list.

0.2 · Application

4. Immediate oral sanction, nothing in writing. Verdict?

Effective Normal Recommended Voidable at the first challenge: procedure (notice, interview, written record) decides the outcome

Most disputes punish form: lawyer before acting, never after.

0.2 · Recall

5. Labor Code vs collective agreement: which one applies?

The most favorable to the employee (often the agreement): compare first The cheapest one At random Always the Code

Hierarchy of norms: the most favorable prevails — hence the systematic check.

0.2 · Arbitration

6. Company outside France: what to do with this guide's legal framework?

Transpose: universal logic, local texts checked with a lawyer Ignore it Shut down Apply it as is

Illustrated under French law: written contracts, procedures and fairness everywhere, texts vary.

0.3 · Application

7. Hiring dragging on for 4 months. Likely cause?

Chance No candidates A blurred process (who decides, who informs): write it down (manager + HR + management) The economy

Written roles: need, grid, budget — three voices before publishing.

0.3 · Application

8. Who does HR every day?

The HR function alone Managers (relays) equipped and trained by the function Nobody A software tool

Managers recruit, appraise, manage: training managers is the no. 1 lever.

0.3 · Arbitration

9. Which one is NOT an HR stakeholder?

Management and managers Employees and staff representatives Labour inspection and occupational health The weather

Five orchestrated families: the weather is not one of them.

0.4 · Application

10. Ten parallel HR spreadsheets. First move?

Nothing An eleventh one, better kept A single repository (HRIS): spreadsheets lie, the HRIS tracks Print everything

Versions, formulas, access: parallel spreadsheets manufacture errors.

0.4 · Arbitration

11. Choosing an HRIS: which criterion first?

The first one that comes along Price alone Real needs + demo on YOUR cases + total cost (migration, training) Its color

Switching costs a year: choose slowly on real cases, deploy fast.

0.4 · Arbitration

12. Payroll export on a personal USB stick. Verdict?

A breach waiting to happen: role-based access, no wild exports (data protection) Normal Recommended Practical

Sensitive data: roles, retention, register — the USB stick is not on the list.

What's next?

Score ≥ 80%: move on to Level 1 — V3 (defining the need, sourcing and job ads, screening applications, recruitment interviews, onboarding).
Score < 80%: revisit the failed sections (missions 0.1, framework 0.2, stakeholders 0.3, tools 0.4), re-read the explanations above, then retake the test.
