About the role
A recruiter finds, screens and hires the right people for the business. You partner with hiring managers, source candidates, run interviews, manage offers and look after candidate experience. The panel wants to see that you fill roles with quality hires, on time, and treat candidates well.
How to prepare
- Prepare a hard to fill role you closed and the sourcing approach that worked.
- Know your numbers from recent roles, such as time to hire and offer acceptance.
- Think through how you push back when a hiring manager's expectations are unrealistic.
- Be ready to explain how you assess candidates fairly and consistently.
- Plan how you keep candidates informed so nobody is left waiting without a reply.
Common mistakes
- Talking about the volume of CVs instead of the quality of hires.
- Having no clear way to assess candidates beyond gut feel.
- Ignoring candidate experience and how rejected applicants are treated.
