Executive Recruiter Interviews

Executive Recruiter Interview Questions

"When hiring an executive recruiter, a recruiting firm will look for candidates who have the industry knowledge and recruiting skills to seek out applicants for executive and high-level management positions. In an interview you can expect to be asked about the traits you look for in executive candidates, the processes you use to vet applicants, and your turnaround rate for filling positions. You should also be prepared to answer any technical questions that pertain to the industry you will be recruiting in."

The questions I received were typical, pre interview type questions, as listed above. I am still in the beginning stages, so am interested in determining if this is a bonifide position, or if it is a position as is described in other posts on this site...where you must pay to play.

The application asks you to upload a resume and cover letter (of course) explaining why you are a "born business matchmaker" (as if we were all business matchmaking when we were in diapers). Questions about favorite recruitment tools and why. "Challenge" questions in which you are given 5-10 minutes to find 3 candidates with very specific skillset and portfolio makeup. Also, the candidates cannot have a full-time job. Then you'll provide a link to their portfolio. To me, it almost seems like they are maybe using job applicants to do their sourcing for them? This is when I decided I wouldn't be moving forward with this application.
