Questions to ask recruiter in coffee chat

I have a few coffee chats scheduled with recruiters, and I have my list of 20-25 personalized questions to learn more about the firm. What are some questions you think are important to ask a recruiter in terms of learning more about the firm, but also potentially standing out as an applicant.
