Recruiting Coordinator Interview Questions

I gave my example, but the interviewer was looking for a different answer. It was as though he already had an answer to the question that I should have said, but he wasn't helpful when i asked for further clarification as to what he was looking for.

The purpose of these types of questions are to match your past experience with specific competencies that are needed for this position

It's kind of tricky! Be sure you think about it.

What was your answer? (Optional)

It is an administrative position, that requires dilligence, attention to detail, proactivity, multitasking and teamwork, but does not involve being a recruiter. Rather, the position provides administrative support to the recruiter ( the client). It involves a lot of scheduling, filing, writing e-mails, following up with candidates, tracking candidate application in the online system, producing reports and such. It is a partnership relationship, where the ADP contractor works as a staff assitant to make the client recruiter successful ( basiacally doing all the jobs the client recruiter doesnt want to do). It is a stepping stone role, involving a lot of long hours and a lot of hard work, a chance to prove yourself and a pathway to a career in HR recruting. The coordinator is a contractor who works to *please the client.*

I didn't really know. I'm not generally good at these questions but obviously the point was to demonstrate what I like to work on, what my strengths are, and/or what motivates me.

Great mission in serving the community.
