Institute for Defense Analyses interview questions

The first step was a recruiter phone screen. It was more detailed than a typical administrative screening and included questions about my background, interest in IDA, reasons for considering a move, work motivations, preferred environment, strengths, recent constructive feedback, travel, start date, clearance, and salary expectations. The recruiter also explained the position, benefits, and the remaining interview process. The conversation was professional and lasted roughly 30 minutes.
