Executive Recruiter Interview Question:

Tell me to which companies have you applied to in the last 12 months?

Submitted by: Muhammad

Be honest! If you have applied to the hiring company in the last 12 months, the Recruiter CAN NOT REPRESENT YOU. And don't ask them to “do you a favor” and recommend you. At the end of the day, this is a for-profit business. Another big tip - if you are applying to online job postings, don't contact a Recruiter. We get paid very well to find the best of the best, not executives that spam their resume. If you are applying to a $50 LinkedIn ad, the hiring company has no reason to pay a Recruiter.
