What questions should I ask at a job interview for a healthcare recruiter position?

I have an interview tomorrow with a healthcare recruiting firm and I want to have a few good questions to ask about the job/industry, but it will be a new field for me and I%26#039;m not sure what to ask about. Any suggestions?|||1) How is the compensation structured? Is it hourly or based on the number of positioned filled (sort of like commission)?





2) On average, how many open positions are there that need to be filed on a weekly bases? Is there a quota for the number of openings that recruiter must fill?





3) Does this firm have any exclusive contracts with hospital systems and/or medical practices or does the firm rely on a %26quot;Sales Force%26quot; to identify needs that need to be filled?





4) What makes this Healthcare Recruiting Firm better then the others that are in the industry? or Why should I except a job at this firm as opposed to the guys down the street? (Remember, in an interview, you are also evaluating the employer and deciding if you WANT to work there)





5) Does the recruiter also conduct the background checks/reference checks/credential verifications or is there a support staff that perform these duties?





6) Does this firm also set-up the pre-employment drug screening or does the healthcare facility handle this?





7) Does this firm represent the employer or candidate? Who is the customer, the job seeker or the company looking to fill their staffing needs?





8) What are the documentation disclosure requirements of the firm to the employer? Do I need to be prepared to provide my interview notes to an employer upon request?
