The recruiter asked pretty straight forward behavioral questions - rapid fire: No kidding it was like a 3 hour interview in 50 minutes. The recruiter questions were all great for a manager level interview - how did you handle this/that... Then he asked about a time when I should have done something better (I answered with a time when an employee's performance had dropped off and I did not fire them sooner): He went on to spend 10 minutes of the interview lecturing me on how to handle low performers...
