As a Staffing Manager, you will be expected to provide constructive feedback to hiring managers. While this feedback can be provided on many different aspects of the recruitment and staffing process, some of the hiring managers that you will be working with can be stubborn and bullheaded in their ways. To demonstrate your ability to approach the hiring managers you will be working with in this role, think about a time when you noticed an improvement could be made with one of the managers you worked with and explain why the feedback you had was important to success. Then, walk through how you approached that conversation to ensure that your advice was taken in stride and implemented right away by the hiring manager.

"If hired for this role, I would look to become a close partner with all of the hiring managers that I would be working with and open lines of communication are important in that partnership. A couple of years ago, I worked closely with a new hiring manager who wasn't giving me clear feedback on candidates they were interviewing in person and wasn't completing interview evaluations. Knowing that this was an experienced manager, I had to approach our conversation armed with good information on why I needed interview evaluations to be filled out. We talked in his office, and I explained that the documentation of interviews was important on the Human Resources side of things for us to support any hiring decisions that are made. He thanked me for the conversation and admitted that it was certainly old school not taking notes during or after an interview. With a quick five-minute coaching on my expectations, he was fully compliant in all of his interviews moving forward."
