Looking to hire you as their next Staffing Manager, you may only be coming to this interview with recruitment experience. Your interviewer will be looking to hear that you understand the full scope of staffing versus the recruiting process and that you are ready to take on the full spectrum of staffing in this role. As you answer, point out some key things included in full-spectrum staffing and how this differs from recruiting staff. Some things to talk about would be the importance of focusing on retention and training throughout an employee's career once they are hired.

"Yes, there are many differences, but the two are interrelated as well. While most of my experience during my career has been on the recruitment side of healthcare and food services, I am ready to make the leap to full-fledged staffing. I have a strong interest in employee retention and currently sit on an organizational committee focused on staff retention. Over the last two years since our formation, we have developed new onboarding and training programs that are paying dividends in such a short amount of time. Your role as a Staffing Manager piqued my interest greatly because it so closely aligns with my personal career goals."
