Recruitment Consultant Interview Questions
Going to an interview for a position of recruitment consultant you will need to demonstrate good confidence and show that you are someone who thrives on making targets.
The recruitment industry is fast growing and most businesses fight for the same roles and the best candidates, you will be asked how you can bring new clients and candidates on board and keep them, placing them into many temporary positions or a permanent one and ensuring that you build up a good enough relationship that they will come back to you each and every time they are looking for a new role.
