If you’re searching for your next role, you’re likely to cross paths with a recruiter—it’s their responsibility to see if you’re the right fit for the job.

But while you’ll interact with them in phone calls and interviews, you don’t get to see what goes on behind the scenes and how they weigh you up remains a bit of a mystery.

It’s bound to leave you wondering—how long do they actually spend looking at my resume? How do I know if an interview has gone well? Will they look at my social media?

We collected the burning questions from our Facebook community and asked leading recruiters to answer them. See what they had to say when it was their turn in the hot seat—what they reveal could come in handy when you’re applying for your next role.
