1. Clarity and Structure: You covered all significant steps in the recruitment process, but the flow could be more organized. Consider breaking down your answer into clearly defined sections, such as “Job Requisition,” “Sourcing,” “Interview Process,” and “Onboarding.” This makes it easier for the interviewer to follow your explanation.
