Prioritizing job orders when you have multiple open requests at one time can be a tricky task. You may want to consider factors like:

- The clients' preferred start date
- The difficulty level of a search
- Whether the search is exclusive
- The candidate market in the role's location/region

Show the interviewer that you will not have a problem sorting your job orders at Robert Half ensuring every client is taken care of promptly.

"I lean on my CRM a lot when it comes to prioritizing tasks. I rank jobs in order of importance in an A, B, C fashion and set up goals, dates, and milestones. My system prompts me when a deadline is approaching. Some clients' needs are more urgent than others, such as a new search versus an unexpected replacement. Overall, I never allow a client to go more than 48 hours without some movement from me."
