Practice theme

Recruiter screen

Practice the first conversation about your story, why this opening, and whether the requirements actually fit.

What to practice

Questions we wrote

Practice questions, not a prediction of the real round.

  1. 1. Walk me through the last few years of your work.

    Follow-up: What made you ready to leave the role you are in now?

  2. 2. What pulled you toward this opening?

    Follow-up: Which line in the job text sounds most like work you have already done?

  3. 3. Which requirement on this job is the strongest match for you?

    Follow-up: What would a recruiter misunderstand about that match?

  4. 4. Tell me about a time you had to explain your work to someone outside your team.

    Follow-up: What did you leave out on purpose?

  5. 5. What are you looking for in the next role that you do not have now?

    Follow-up: What would make you turn this job down?

  6. 6. What should I know about timing or location before I move you forward?

    Follow-up: Is there anything you want me to flag for the hiring manager?

A structure to try

Are these the questions a real recruiter will ask?

No. These are practice themes for a recruiter screen. They are not that person's script and not a prediction.

Will the interviewer sound like someone at the company?

No. The role changes the questions. It does not copy a real person's voice or claim to know their mind.
