In staffing, you may be asked to work outside of a typical Monday to Friday work week, depending on your clients and candidate needs. If you have a candidate who cannot interview during standard work hours, you may need to conduct a phone interview at 7 PM to accommodate their needs. If you do temp staffing, you may have warehouse clients who call you at 6 AM to report a worker who did not show up for their early-morning shift.
Many recruiters have their cell phones on 24/7 and check their email on weekends. The purpose of this question is to determine not only your availability but your willingness to be flexible to meet the needs of clients and candidates. Show Randstad that you are willing to accommodate the varying needs of your clients and candidates.

"In the world of staffing, I do not expect to work a strict 40 hour per week schedule, but I also know that I'm looking for a work-life balance. As needed, I will be available to my clients and candidates. I have email on my phone and am sure to be on top of my candidates' start dates and promptly check in with my clients even on weekends and evenings."
