Critical Reasoning (CR) | Re: ­In an economic downturn, companies tempted to take advantage of job

Hi @MartyMurray @KarishmaB @AjiteshArun

During the test, i found (C) very tempting. Below is my line of reasoning. Please explain where did i go wrong!

I thought: Comapany can get hurt two ways: EitherNOW OR WHEN economyrecovers . 
Saying that ''applicants'' maynot get jobNOW , am not i removing a possible case, and hence strengthening the part ''WHEN ECONOMYRECOVERS''?

Premise --->Conclusion
Those treated unfairly during hiring said that they were looking for jobs outside their company, even after five years.

Taking advantage could hurtcompanies  WHEN the economyrecovers
Hence, 
­In an economic downturn, companies tempted to take advantage of job applicants as unemployment rates rise shouldreconsider
