What they are checking: Whether they can source beyond job boards and persuade people who aren't looking.
Tell me about a time a hiring manager took weeks to give interview feedback. What did you do?
What they are checking: Whether they hold managers accountable to keep good candidates from walking away.
Tell me about a candidate experience that went wrong on your watch and how you fixed it.
What they are checking: Whether they take ownership of the candidate experience, which reflects on the employer brand.
What would you do
Walk me through an intake meeting with a hiring manager who isn't sure what they need.
What they are checking: Whether they can shape a vague request into clear requirements and set realistic expectations.
A hiring manager wants a candidate profile that the market can't support at the pay offered. How do you handle that?
What they are checking: Whether they use market data to reset expectations instead of searching forever.
During peak demand you may support job types outside your usual area. How do you get up to speed on an unfamiliar role quickly?

About the work
You'd recruit for both professional and hourly roles in Operations, Engineering, and R&D. How does your approach differ for a process engineer versus a second-shift operator?
What they are checking: Whether they adjust sourcing, speed, and messaging to very different candidate markets.
How do you build a pipeline for high-volume hourly roles so you aren't starting from zero each time?
What they are checking: Whether they plan ahead with pipelines rather than recruiting reactively.
How do you keep Workday data accurate when you're juggling many open requisitions?
What they are checking: Whether they value process discipline, since hiring metrics depend on clean system data.
What recruiting metrics do you track for yourself, and which one tells you the most?
What they are checking: Whether they measure their own effectiveness beyond the number of hires.
