You will help these leaders form talent attraction and hiring goals and build strategies around specific recruitment targets. The interviewers would like to know the different ways that you collaborate and communicate with your internal partners and others across your current company. Think of the ways that you act as a consultative partner in your current or most recent position.

Some of the ways you can act as a partner and consultant in a recruitment role include:
- Ensuring you are well-informed on hiring needs.
- Possessing a strong grasp of industry terms and hiring trends.
- Be an informative connection and resource for recruitment-related topics.
- Maintain high-quality work, further proving your role as a valued team member.

"As a Recruiter, I am mindful of assuming the role of strategic partner and coach, as I forge strong relationships with my co-workers and leaders across departments. I currently achieve this by first ensuring a full understanding of each departments' hiring needs and expectations. I spend time listening to each department leaders' needs while learning the culture of their existing team. Then, I create a customized search strategy based on that information. Using this approach, I build the trust required to push back if a leaders' candidate expectations are misaligned with the competitive market. I also act as a partner by respecting all candidates with whom I have a touchpoint. This approach ensures that I model professionalism on behalf of every department. I remain educated on the news and concerning topics such as discrimination so that I remain seen as a trusted and knowledgeable consultant. When I join Facebook as a Recruiter, I will quickly become a trusted partner to my new colleagues and leaders. I will continue to educate myself on the hiring market, specifically within the tech industry, allowing me to make recommendations based on a 360 view of the market and competitive landscape. This approach will help us all to make well-educated and data-focused decisions that boost Facebook's recruitment practices and influence sound hiring decisions."
