Express Employment Professionals Recruit interview questions

Management was really nice here. Owners interviewed me and mostly just asked about my past experience. They were willing to train me without experience. They were mostly interested in hearing about my past experience and what I enjoyed doing. They also wanted to make sure I had "thick skin" for some of the situations that can come up with this job.

While reading this, keep in mind that Express Employment Professionals are franchises and that the way business is actually conducted will vary from location to location. I interviewed at two locations with two different people with a huge difference in my personal experience. Overall, the hiring process for this INTERNAL recruiter position was a little discouraging. Location #1 The hiring manager was a bit disorganized and a little unfriendly and unprofessional. I felt like a second-class employee, not an educated professional. Sure, they have their "assessments" you are required to take. I am ok with those. They are routine and standard procedure. I just didn't like how I was treated. Remember, people may forget what you say, but they will never, ever forget how you made them feel. Instead of feeling that I was a potential fellow team mate, I felt as a low-class uneducated candidate # .......... You know what I am saying? Location #2 VERY professional recruiter and hiring manager who has been there for a long time (more than a decade) and has moved up the ranks. The interview went smoothly and very conversational. I felt very dignified and felt a connection, as if she understood me. In fact, she helped me realize a great deal about myself in a short amount of time. You see, I am a new college graduate but in the "over 40" group. I have a great deal of customer service experience and know how to handle difficult customers. I really felt that recruiting was the best fit for me. After leaving the interview, I felt dignified, yet realized that recruiting may not be the best fit for me. Since that time I have adjusted my goals a bit for the better. Although I never gained employment at this location, I do believe that this EEP location is a good one and there really is hope in the staffing industry, as far as not being treated as though you are a number.
