<p>At a minimum, these questions should be asked, and then some. If my recruiters were not asking at least these questions, I would question their true ability at doing their job, or maybe I failed as a manager in teaching them the proper way to recruit and genuinely show value to both the candidate and client.</p>

<p>These are all very basic questions that should all be asked of every candidate. But, I have seen newer recruiters shy away from them, afraid to hear any 'bad news'. It takes them awhile before they get that asking the questions can save a deal vs. not asking and then getting hit with all kinds of surprises. The cross your fingers and hope they take it approach rarely works. :)</p>
<p>Agree with Bill on the what's changed question. You have to ask every time you talk to a candidate.</p>

Jerry- the first two you mentioned about interviewing with someone else and accepting a counteroffer are essential. You will get burned if you haven't already if you don't ask those questions. Good points.

<p>Good list. I might add that most of these questions should not only be asked at initial screening; but also after each event. Because, things change. And it doesn't suffice to say "any changes since we last talked?" Although that's a good one too. </p>
