whether the candidate can prioritize and organize across many simultaneous reqs without dropping details
Tell me about a time a hiring manager pushed back on a candidate you presented, or wanted to move forward with someone you had concerns about. How did you handle it?
ability to influence hiring decisions consultatively rather than just executing orders
Tell me about an employer branding project or social media recruiting initiative you worked on. What was your role and what happened?
actual ownership of branding work versus passive involvement
Tell me about a time a candidate had a bad experience somewhere in your process. What happened and what did you change afterward?
ownership of candidate experience and willingness to fix process gaps
Describe a time you had to build a recruiting strategy for a role you weren't familiar with. How did you learn what the hiring manager actually needed?
consultative skill in translating vague requests into a workable hiring plan
Technical
What sourcing channels have you actually used to fill inside sales or customer support roles, and which ones gave you the best results?
real hands-on knowledge of sourcing tools versus generic name-dropping
Which ATS platforms have you worked in day to day, and how do you use them to track candidates through the pipeline?

process discipline and ability to manage manager expectations against compliance requirements
How do you keep hiring managers updated on where things stand without it turning into constant status meetings?
