Tell me about your experience in pitch preparation and giving presentations to groups of decision makers.

Executive recruiters will often have to pitch new clients or give presentations to existing ones. These presentations may be to sell your idea for a staffing plan, a new talent attraction strategy, or to pitch a new candidate.

Show the interviewer that you have experience in pitch preparation by discussing the types of meetings you have led in the past. Talk about the kind of people you have addressed, meaning their job titles. Also, if you have taken any training in pitching, or even designing presentations, it's great to mention those skills.

"I recently took a training course in writing pitches. It was called 'Pitch Anything' by Oren Klaff. This course changed how I approached nearly every meeting. I now go into a presentation with a much clearer idea of my purpose, being more persuasive, and close more deals than ever. Most of the people that I present to are the decision makers in the organizations with which I collaborate. These groups may include the c-suite and often the human resources department."
