"It's important that I look at a candidate's social media profile, ensuring that I have the full story, before submitting their application to my client. Primarily, I use LinkedIn to search for new candidates. I also use LinkedIn to look at the profiles of the candidates I am entertaining. I like to look at their recommendations, connections, and ensure that their work timelines match what is on their resume. Other tools I use include Indeed and popular job search boards as well as our agency's talent portal. Do you have any recommendations for tools that you prefer using here?"

A great recruiter will have many tools at their fingertips, allowing them more speed in their research. The fastest acting recruiter will almost always win the placement, so it's important to the interviewer that you know which tools are available to you, helping you to succeed.
List a few of the top resources that you use in your recruitment process. If you'd like, you can also ask for recommendations on tools. Show that you are eager to learn and that you lean on resources other than yourself, to reach the finish line.

"I am still shocked to hear that not every recruiter utilizes social media in their recruitment process. I begin with LinkedIn, using their Recruiter program. From there, I will also search for potential people to poach from Facebook and even Twitter. Other tools that I lean on regularly include our company's applicant tracking pool. I will also ask for referrals quite often, from candidates that I have worked with in the past."
