Talent Acquisition Manager Interview Question:

Explain me what qualities do you have that prepare you for a people-centric, high-stress job in talent acquisition?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Leadership, time management and a finely tuned understanding of people are three key qualities I would bring to this position. In my last position, I was promoted to lead recruiter within 12 months of being hired at the company. I managed a team of three other recruiters and helped the staffing agency I worked with grow their client base by 25 percent and earn the title of Top Staffing Agency in our metropolitan area. In this leadership position and in past positions, I have honed my time management abilities to make sure that no project or task gets neglected and that not a minute goes to waste. Lastly, my understanding of the qualities that make lasting, worthwhile hires has grown considerably over my nearly 10 years in staffing, HR and talent acquisition. My people skills allow me to work calmly and effectively with coworkers, managers, subordinates, clients and candidates alike.
