The interviewer is checking to see how skilled you are with crafting compelling job postings that benefit your agency, protect your client, and attract the right candidates all at once. When writing a job posting, you must consider unconscious bias, keep your client names private, all while making sure that the right keywords are present so that your posting is optimized. As an Agency Recruiter, you will be writing job postings regularly, as new job orders come in or as clients tweak their requests. Discuss what you think should be left out of a job posting.

"It took me around two years as an Agency Recruiter to feel completely skilled in the art of job postings; however, I believe I now have a highly effective formula. First, I would never include details about my client that would give away who they are. This omission is so that other recruiters do not try to poach my client but also so that candidates do not go to the client directly. This protects my clients' time. Next, I am sure never to say 'she' or 'he.' Keeping pronouns general is critical. I also avoid unintentionally biased wording that may indicate an age preference, such as 'work hard, play hard environment.' Lastly, I never include boring phrases like 'responsible for...!' Candidates will always prefer the job posting that sounds engaging and compelling."
