There will be times as a Talent Acquisition Specialist that you will work on your own and times you will need to collaborate with others. The interviewer wants to know which you prefer, but they are also looking to confirm you have the skill set to do both.

"It really depends on the work I'm doing. When I'm posting open jobs or reviewing resumes, I like to be on my own and just focus on the computer screen. But I also really enjoy collaborating with hiring managers to discuss their ideal candidate or to do joint interviews. And planning and executing job fairs with a team is one of my favorite parts of the job. I think the variety of doing some work on my own and other work with coworkers is part of what makes being a Talent Acquisition Specialist the perfect job for me."
Let the interviewer know if you prefer to work on your own or with others, but do not speak negatively about either. You want to make sure the interviewer feels you are capable of performing well in both situations.
