As an Agency Recruiter, you may hear the word 'bullpen.' Some agencies will place their recruiters in a bullpen environment where desks are put together in an open-office environment. Since Agency Recruiters work so fast to find candidates for their clients, many recruitment firms will set their employees up in a bullpen-style office to ensure maximum collaboration among recruiters. This close-knit environment allows recruiters to quickly and easily update their team members on a recruitment project's progress. This work environment also makes it easier for managers to single out recruiters who are not picking up the phone and hustling compared to their co-workers.
If you are accustomed to a bullpen-style office, let the interviewer know you are confident in your ability to thrive in this environment. Before your interview, you might know what kind of workplace environment the agency offers. If you are unsure, you can ask the interviewer. Be sure to ask enough questions to ensure that the agency's work environment is right for you.

"I have worked in both a bullpen environment, and I have had a personal office. I feel each scenario has its benefits and drawbacks. For instance, I love the collaboration involved in a bullpen set up. When I am working on fast-paced projects, I prefer the buzz that comes with group work. However, when I am working on a highly-specific executive search, I prefer working in a private office. Could you share with me which work environment you offer here at ABC Recruitment Agency?"
