Have you ever been in charge of hiring and firing employees?

If you have experience hiring and firing personnel, describe how many years of experience you have with this task. Focus on how you go about the process and how comfortable you are with this assignment.

When responding to this question, avoid saying you have experience hiring and firing employees if you do not. If hired, it will become apparent to the interviewer that you were dishonest when you do not understand the nuances of hiring and firing personnel.

"Yes, I have over ten years of experience hiring and firing personnel. I estimate I have hired over 500 employees over the years and terminated 10. I enjoy hiring more than firing, but I know it has to be done if an employee is not working out. I feel extremely comfortable with both tasks."
