Urban Institute Interview Questions

They asked questions about research I had done, about tax policy related issues relevant to the position I was applying for, and about why I’m interested in the Urban Institute

I messaged the recruiter on LinkedIn regarding my application, and she that said she'd present me to the hiring manager. After not hearing from her for a few weeks, I tried following up, but she didn't respond. She essentially ghosted me after that initial contact.

It starts with a phone screening with one of the senior researchers. It was a quick chat where they asked basic questions. I got reached out to some days later to set up a zoom meeting with the senior researcher and two research analysts on the team. The interview was more in depth and they asked about previous research experience.

Good, both the HR rep and the panel interviewers were very nice and the interviews were a good experience. One phone interview and one panel interview. After like others, basically got ghosted and then got a rejection letter that the position was filled about 2-3 months after

First round phone screening, second round panel interview, third round interview with policy center VP. Positive experience throughout, but was disappointed to be ghosted after final rounds. Not sure how many candidates there were at the end, but a courtesy email would have been appreciated. The hiring team was very communicative prior, so it felt odd for them to go silent.

Had 2 interviews, a phone screen and then interview with two staff members. They said they would follow up but I never heard back after the interview. Wish they would have at least bothered sending a rejection email...

The 2 hour interview included 4 30-minute sessions at different levels of the research team. Including a session with 2 senior fellows, a session with a research associate, a more informal session with a research assistant, and a session with a research associate and senior manager.

-pretty straightforward interview process, takes a while to hear back both after submitting initial application and after interview -phone screen and then two hour Zoom interview -overall seems a bit disorganized

The process was straightforward. There was a pre-interview exercise to start. After the interview exercise there was a 30 minute interview with two research associates and the final interview was with the research director.

Submitted CV and cover letter. Had first round 30 minute interview over the phone with a Senior Research Associate. Got a rejection email a couple of days after that was generic. I was more credentialed than the woman who interviewed me.
