"I have experience acting as a hiring assistant. In my previous position, I filtered through resumes, conducted pre-screen calls, and reference checks. I feel confident that, with a small amount of training, I could take on this task entirely on my own."

"In my last position, I helped open a new restaurant and hired the entire staff of 24 people. I posted our open positions, scheduled a job fair, and reviewed resumes. After conducting all interviews, and reference checks, I was able to hire a team of hosts, servers, and bussers with plenty of time for training before opening the restaurant."

Hiring is a crucial part of your job. The right team can make a restaurant more profitable. Hiring the wrong kind of people for your business can drag morale down and have a severely adverse effect on customer service.
If you have experience with making hiring decisions, discuss how you prepare for an interview by reviewing the candidate's application and having a set of interview questions that you ask each person. Be sure to mention if you interview by yourself or if you include someone else in the interviews. Talk about how many people you have hired as well as any interviewing training you have received. You can also mention your staff retention rate if you have that data available.
If you do not have experience with hiring, express that you are excited to learn this part of the job and that you welcome any additional training.
