If your interviewer proposes a question like this during your time with them, they are ideally looking to hear that you would have a calculated plan of attack if you were hired as their next Staffing Manager. While the timeframe they may give vary from 30 days to six months and even to a year, it is wise to come to your interview prepared with a plan for how you will orientate quickly and hit the ground running if offered this position. This is your chance to ensure your interviewer that you are skilled enough for this position to know what to do in your first 90 days. As you answer, highlight the importance of building strong relationships, learning the business back to front, and stamping your place as their Staffing Manager in a positive way.

"During my first 90 days, I would complete an audit to determine the potential gaps in the staffing process that may exist. I would also spend time getting to know my business partners and their hiring needs. During this process, I would seek information that would help paint the full-scale picture for me of your organization. Finally, I would look to begin to establish processes and best practices that ensure the staffing department maximizes its day to day productivity."
