  2. What is the first thing you do when you get a requirement?
  3. What are different methods of sourcing you use?
  4. What is your sourcing strategy for different level of experiences?
  5. How different will be your strategy for volume and niche requirements?
  6. How effective is Mass Mail and Job Postings in portals ?
  7. How to use Job Postings and Mass Mail effectively?
  8. How do you use Linked-In for recruitment ?
  9. What is your resume sent to shortlists ratio ?
  10. What is Boolean search and how do use it(with an example)? (Ref)
  11. How effective are social networking sites for recruitment?
  12. What are the different technologies in which you have sourced profiles till now ?
  13. How many positions do you close every month?
  14. Have you done headhunting ? How do you do it?
  15. Give an example where you went extra mile to close a difficult position?
  16. Which part of recruitment process life-cycle do you like most and why ?

    During closing arguments, Apple attorney Harold McElhinny claimed Samsung had
    a "crisis of design" after the 2007 launch of the iPhone, and executives were determined to cash in
    illegally on the success of the revolutionary device.

    In the nearly five years that Levinson has been missing, the U.
    S. government has never had solid intelligence about what happened to him.

    Levinson had been retired from the FBI for years and was
    working as a private investigator when he traveled to the Iran in March 2007.
    His family has said an investigation into cigarette smuggling
    brought him to Kish, a resort island where Americans need no visa to visit.

    But do not we? You must streamline education so little ones have the
    standard vocabulary? to interact. So, for the sake
    streamlining understanding, naturally you might be likely to become autocratic.
    Now where I consider your stage is quite poignant is in high school.
    By that time they must possess a fundamental vocabulary.
    At that point, we ought to be teaching them how to argue their points.
