Recruiter Interview Question:

Suppose if they're not currently employed, I ask: Why did you leave your last role?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Finding out why someone left their last role tells a lot about the person's work performance and expectations. Red flags can already begin to emerge during this conversation, and it may help lead to more probing questions.

For example, if a candidate is looking for growth opportunities but hasn't sought project work or an increased workload in his or her current role, it may signal an unwillingness to work for a promotion while still expecting it.
