For example if what they really want is a more senior role or better pay, or if their main priority is something else like location, size of recruitment agency, or a chance to work in a new sector.
It may also prompt them to tell you about their circumstances – are they simply applying for anything they are qualified for because they are between jobs, are they cherry picking things to apply for because they are considering a move; or worse case are they jumping before they are asked to leave ?!

This question is a different wayof asking them about their skills,because it will give you some insightinto how well their idea of thisvacancy matches what you know(and therefore how much you needto go into explaining the client’s culture to them), as well as which of their skills and achievements they are most proud of.

The creative and open style of this question also prompts the candidate to sell these skills to you, and it gives you a good feel for how they might fare at representing their skills to the potential employer.
It is also sufficiently conversational that you can use what they tell you to open up new areas of discussion, or express interest and develop some initial rapport.
