As an Internal Recruiter, there will be times when a candidate does not do their job well, and your employer may ask you to let them go and replace them. Other circumstances may arise where a temp employee's performance is excellent, but their assignment ends earlier than expected due to a change in work volume. Show the interviewer that you can confidently approach difficult conversations around termination or unexpected dismissal. Depending on the size of your company, this task may be left with an HR Manager. If you do not have experience with terminations, discuss how you believe they should be handled.

"In my six years as an Internal Recruiter, I have had to assist in the termination of dozens of people. The reasons may vary, but my approach is always the same: showing gratitude and appreciation for their time with our company. In my current role, I help the HR Manager facilitate exit interviews where we discuss what went well, what they could have done differently, and then we coach them if they are open to feedback. Nobody should be left hanging or wondering what went wrong when they are terminated or their temporary assignment comes to an end. I am sure to handle these situations with complete professionalism."
