In the candidate review stage of this recruitment effort for a Staffing Manager, your interviewer may have a hard time telling if you have direct experience managing a team of direct reports.

If you have management experience, feel free to share it with the interviewer and talk in detail about your duties surrounding teams of individuals. If you have never been a manager before, talk about how you have obtained the necessary skills to be an effective people manager in this role.

"If fortunate enough to be your next Staffing Manager, this would be my first official role managing the work of other individuals. However, I was the senior recruiter with my last company, and I developed many valuable skills to succeed in this role. It was my job to train new recruiters and monitor their progress. I gave input on their performance reviews. In preparation for my first management role, I took two supervisor development courses where I learned how to conduct performance reviews, coach, and motivate my employees properly. I feel I am well prepared to hold my first official management role with your organization."
