How do you find qualified candidates? Discuss a time when your approach helped you to hire a great employee.
The interviewer wants you to discuss the various recruitment and interview methods you use in your hiring practices. Walk the interviewer through your vetting, including the tools that you use to make successful candidate matches. The hiring authority must be able to picture you succeeding and fitting in well as the new HR Manager, working well with existing processes and meeting company expectations.
"Through my 10 years of experience as an HR Manager, I have found that there is no one magic bullet to finding talent. My HR team and I utilize online recruiting methods through job boards such as Indeed and ZipRecruiter. I also utilize many of the LinkedIn premium features for candidate matching and messaging. My offline talent attraction methods include career fairs and referral programs. I recently implemented an associate referral program to attract top talent by encouraging referrals from existing employees. Through this program, we have now hired five exceptional new leaders in the last year."
