Technical Recruiter Interview Questions
"Technical recruiting is a demanding sector of recruiting that requires an understanding of what software engineers do and how the tech industry works. In an interview, expect to discuss your knowledge of the technology field for which you are applying as well as answer typical recruiting questions about organizational and time management skills. Because employees in this role need a more advanced skill set than general recruiters, companies often look for candidates with at least 1-3 years of prior recruiting experience."

How many hours do you prefer to work each week.
The last question I was asked was a math question, which I was not expecting at all. It was a word problem that had to do with calculating the profit made by a staffing company after placing a candidate at a new position with a client.
The interviewer didn't ask that many questions but spent considerable amount of time telling me about the job. That's where I learned they were recruiting for a sourcer (not in the JD) and not a full-life cycle recruiter.
Do you get along well with others and do you mind tight quarters where it can get loud? (All recruiters are in one room with no walls so it gets quite loud)
What are the ways you know that a recruiting operation is going well?
How do you deal with failure?
Why are you interested in NVA?
This is not a question, but they will have you source and walk through a live REQ basically doing free work for the company. They are awkwardly watching you the whole time and the whole experience is very unnerving and, in the end, is in no way a reflection of how recruiting should really work.
