At points during your time with them, your interviewer will be looking to see that you've done your homework on this Staffing Manager position, and this question is an example of a time when they'll be trying to do just that. But keep in mind that they won't be looking for you to recite a couple of day-to-day tasks in your answer. Rather, they'll be expecting you to talk about some big-picture items that you will be able to tackle if you are hired for the position. If possible, try to research the organization and their industry to talk about a couple of key things that you will be able to do to make a difference for their organization.

"I know that there are several key roles that I will be required to take on to run a successful staffing department here at your organization. First is the ability to train and lead a successful team of recruiters, and I know that my ability to lead others is second to none. Another key role I would play is revamping the onboarding procedure here. As you mentioned, high turnover has been an issue, and I'm a firm believer that a strong onboarding program plays a huge role in the longevity of a new staff member's employment. Last, I would see my role as the Staffing Manager as a liaison and bridge between upper management and successful new hires. I will continuously seek to strengthen relationships within the C-Suite all the way to the hiring managers I would be working with daily."
