"In my recruiter training, I was told never to mention a client's name in a job posting, to make sure the wording is entirely different than the clients' public job postings, and to never include biased language."

The interviewer is checking to see how skilled you are with crafting compelling job postings that benefit your agency, protect your client, and attract the right candidates all at once. When writing a job posting it's vital that you consider unconscious bias, keep your clients' name private, all while making sure that the right keywords are present so that your posting is optimized. As a recruiter, you will be writing job postings on a regular basis, as new job orders come in or as clients tweak their requests. Discuss what you think should be left out of a job posting.

"It has taken me a while to learn the art of job postings; however, I believe I now have a highly effective formula. First, I would never include details about my client that would give away who they are. This omission is so that other recruiters do not try to poach my client, but also so that candidates do not go to the client directly. Next, I am sure never to say 'she' or 'he.' Keeping pronouns general is very important these days. Lastly, I never include boring words! Candidates will apply to jobs that sound exciting and compelling - even if it's accounting!"
