Sample Exam Questions
Here are three sample questions similar to what you'll see on the exam. Try them to test your knowledge!
Sample Question 1: Module 1 (Defining Need)
- A manager asks you to recruit a new salesperson. Before writing a job description, what's the FIRST step?
- A) Post on LinkedIn immediately to see what candidates are available
- B) Analyse whether this is really a recruitment need (vs. training, reorganisation, outsourcing)
- C) Ask current salespeople what they think the ideal profile is
- D) Create a salary range based on market data
- Answer: B. Module 1 teaches that 90% of recruitment failures come from poor needs analysis. You must understand the underlying need before taking action.
Sample Question 2: Module 2 (Sourcing)
- You're recruiting an expert in a very rare skill set. Which sourcing channel has the best ROI?
- A) Post on Indeed and wait for applications
- B) Post on LinkedIn and hope they see it
- C) Active sourcing via LinkedIn Recruiter + headhunters
- D) Ask your network for referrals, then post on your careers page
- Answer: C. For rare profiles, active sourcing (headhunting) and specialised channels are essential. Passive sourcing alone won't work.
Sample Question 3: Module 3 (Evaluation)
- You're interviewing a candidate. Which approach reveals their true soft skills best?
- A) Ask 'Are you a team player?'
- B) Ask 'Tell me about a time you worked in a difficult team. What happened? What did you do? What was the result?' (STAR method)
- C) Observe their body language and demeanour during the chat
- D) Ask their references about their personality
- Answer: B. The STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) is the most reliable way to assess soft skills because it gets specific stories, not generic answers.
