I've been in agency recruiting for almost 20 years, and I've never told a candidate what question to expect.

I've been in agency recruiting for almost 20 years, and I've never told a candidate what question to expect. I might say there is a whiteboard exercise, or years ago mentioned if a client asked Fermi problems, but never a specific question. The biggest problem with contingency recruiting is when the recruiter feels that the size of the fee > the value of a recruiter's reputation. This issue caused me enough angst that I created my own business model that eliminates these incentives to cheat. I personally have never considered asking about the specific questions/answers for my clients' interviews. I may be in the minority on that.
