That’s why we’re thrilled to continue our Maximising Your Recruiter Partnership campaign with insights from Eugene, our experienced Senior Recruitment Consultant. This week, Eugene shares his expert advice on how to effectively prepare for interviews and manage your expectations around feedback timelines.
By asking the right questions and being prepared, you can approach interviews with confidence and ensure you’re set up for success.
Key Questions to Ask Your Recruiter
1. What can I expect from the interview process for roles in my field?
Understanding the structure of the interview process is essential for preparation. Eugene explains that each industry and role may have a slightly different interview format, so it’s important to ask your ecruiter for details. Knowing whether the interview will be technical, competency-based, or involve multiple rounds can help you tailor your preparation accordingly.
2. Do you provide interview coaching or tips on how to prepare?
Many recruiters, including Eugene, offer valuable interview coaching. Whether it’s practising answers to common questions, refining your personal pitch, or providing insights into what employers are specifically looking for, asking this question helps you feel more confident and ready to impress during your interview.
3. How soon after an interview can I expect feedback?
Timely feedback is crucial for managing your expectations and knowing where you stand. Eugene advises candidates to ask about the typical feedback timeline after an interview. While it can vary depending on the employer’s process, knowing when to expect feedback allows you to stay informed and plan your next steps.
Why These Questions Matter
Asking these questions provides clarity and helps you manage your interview preparation and expectations. It also strengthens your relationship with your recruiter, allowing them to offer tailored support and guidance throughout the process. By understanding the interview process and feedback timelines, you can approach your interview with confidence and be better prepared for the outcome.
