Top Questions Companies Would Ask a Recruiter

What motivates you more: finding the right job for a particular candidate or finding the right candidate for a client?

Response from JPE (John Paul Executive Recruitment).

Finding the right job for a candidate has to be the highest priority – if this is achieved, their success in the role will be greater and will also inspire others therefore benefiting the client. If a candidate is not motivated to perform in a role, they will soon quit, which can be costly for a company in terms of lost revenue, recruitment fees, salary and time.

Therefore, finding the right job for a candidate by default has to result in finding the right candidate for the client. Someone with the right attitude, who is motivated and has a desire for the role.
