QUESTION 13 OF 35

Have you ever worked with a staffing agency, from a job seekers' perspective?

If you have ever experienced staffing from a job seeker's perspective, you can understand the recruitment process from a variety of perspectives. This experience allows you to empathize with job seekers who may be nervous working with a recruiter and their clients.

Talk to the interviewer about your experience working with a staffing agency. If you do not have this experience, that is okay too! Most importantly, you show Robert Half you have the empathy and patience needed to work with candidates who do not understand the benefits of working with a staffing agency.

"A few years ago, I was headhunted into the role that I have now. This situation was my first time being on the other side of the table, and honestly, it was a bit intimidating! Even though I knew the staffing industry in and out, I was still unsure of the next steps and felt a lot of pressure to impress multiple parties. I wanted to interview well with the company and not let down the recruiter who was working so hard to place me. This experience gave me a new perspective, and now I treat candidates with even more care and concern. I am clear on next steps, expectations and give them every tool possible to help them succeed."
