Bank managers are usually in charge of finding and hiring new employees. The interviewer wants to know that you have a track record of doing this successfully. Discuss a time when you hired someone who turned out to be an excellent employee. Explain the tactics you used to locate and win over this person.
"I have a lot of experience in finding and acquiring new talent. As a bank manager, I usually delegate certain parts of this process. For instance, I recently hired a new employee who has turned out to be an exceptional salesperson and great with customers. When the need arose to hire someone, I told my colleague specifically what we were looking for to fill the position. We discussed the different places where we could run job ads that would bring in high-quality candidates. Then I let them run with it. Later on in the process, we had several promising candidates to interview. I made sure that we conducted the interviews in a standardized, fair manner. The person we selected went through several interview rounds. In the end, she was the perfect hire for our bank. I believe that delegating most of the hiring process was a smart move because it freed me up to work on other projects, but my guidance and oversight helped to ensure the success of the hiring campaign."
