in recruitment why have you chosen
recruitment so they want to understand
that you know what it's like to work in

recruitment because my personality
skills and experience are better suited
to a fast-paced environment where
pressure is very much the norm having
studied the job description and the main
duties needed to carry out the role of a
recruitment consultant successfully I
believe my own attributes are a strong
match

team and also find suitable prospects
employers and clients to work with on a
regular recurring basis

to get started and show you my strong
work ethics and my determination to

question of your recruitment consultant
interview what makes you the best
candidate for the position of
recruitment consultant so obviously
they're going to be interviewing lots of
people for your particular role so you

best person here's an answer to a
question the best candidate is someone
who has strong interpersonal skills and
enthusiastic attitude to their work a
willingness to work with others to get
the job done an ability to communicate
effectively and also strong
interpersonal skills the best candidate
is also someone who can handle the
pressure and use that pressure to their
advantage in achieving monthly targets
that are set by the recruitment agency

find the right candidates and assist
them during their preparation for the
interview I believe I am the best person

the main duties and responsibilities of
a recruitment consultant so this is
assessing whether or not you've read the
Job Description
which you should do before you go to
your interview so here's my answer there
are a large number of key duties and
responsibilities I would need to perform
as
a recruitment consultant these include
using effective sales and marketing
techniques to attract new business from
client companies building long-term
relationships with clients gaining an
understanding of client's needs and what
they want from our recruitment agency
creating advertising script for
employment vacancies and roles sourcing
suitable advertising locations both
online and offline including social
media headhunting suitable candidates
for positions sifting through and review
and applicants managing interviews
helping candidates prepare effectively
for their interviews also requesting and
reviewing references and also
negotiating salaries and discussing the
terms of employment with successful
candidates it would also be my
responsibility to ensure our work
towards achieving my targets as a
recruitment consultant and also managing
my own professional development to
ensure I stay at the top of my role
another great answer next question
describe the recruitment process steps
you'd follow as a recruitment consultant
now you remember the beginning of this
tutorial I spoke about the recruitment
process so do you know what the
recruitment process is a typical generic
recruitment process here's the answer to
this question for you there would be
seven steps that I would need to follow
to begin with I would conduct a
profiling assessment based on the needs
of the client this would involve me
spending time with a client getting to
know the profile of the person or people
they want to hire I would then move on
to the searching stage whereby I would
source potential candidates for the role
from suitable locations based on the
profile
I would then sift through viable
candidates in line with the job profile
before conducting telephone screening
calls to identify which candidates I
will put forward for an interview stage
six would be the job upper stage for the
successful applicant before finally
completing the process by them actually
joining the company so that's the seven
steps for a generic recruitment process
