QUESTION 11 OF 30

Walk me through your process after receiving a new job order.

"Although this role would be my first temp recruitment job, I have gathered a solid understanding of the requirements after reading through your job description and performing online research. When a job order is received, the most important thing I can do is react quickly and start calling candidates who are already registered temps in the system. Then, I would move to a new candidate attraction strategy such as putting out a job posting online or cold calling job seekers from job boards such as Indeed."

The interviewer would like to know that you are well-organized and that you fully understand your responsibilities, as a temporary recruiter. If you have many years' experience in recruitment, this question should be simple for you to answer. If you are newer to your career in recruitment, think about the tasks mentioned in the company's job posting.

"The first thing that I do after taking a new job order, is entering all of the details in our system. I scan our ATS for potential matches and start calling every candidate who is an 80% match or more. If I strike out there, I will post a job ad and then push it out by email and SMS to those in our system. Most of the time, these actions will result in a few great candidates who I will then bring in for an interview, hopefully, same-day."
