"I have only needed to terminate one temporary employee at this point in my career; however, I am well trained in how to handle job eliminations properly. I am aware that as a temporary staffing recruiter I will need to handle a variety of situations like this in the future, and I feel ready and confident to do so."

As a temporary staffing recruiter, there will be times when a candidate does not do their job well, and your client asks you to replace them. Other circumstances may also arise where the temp employee performance is excellent, but their assignment is ending much earlier than expected. Show the interviewer that you can approach difficult conversations productively and professionally.
If you do not have experience with terminations, discuss how you believe they should be handled and have confidence in your ability to perform undesired tasks such as letting someone go.

"In my six years as a temporary recruiter I have had to terminate dozens of people. The reasons may vary, but my approach is always the same. I let them know that they are appreciated, I discuss what went awry, what they could have done differently, and then I coach them if they are open to coaching. It's important that nobody is left hanging, or wondering what went wrong."
