A recruiter reached to me on LinkedIn in regarding a new opportunity. My initial interviews with the recruiting team and the executives at Booz Allen occurred in relative quick succession. The questions were basic. They provided an overview of the role and wanted to make sure that I was a good fit. The first two rounds went relatively quickly as it was apparent there was an urgent need to the fill the role. When things started to slow down, it was clear they were leaning in another direction. The final round came several weeks after the second one. This was with other executives that were not directly involved with this position, but had a background and experience in the applicable area. They wanted to get a consensus from the group on who they wanted to hire. They ended up going with another candidate. The only reason given was they felt the other person was a better fit. Everyone was professional and the recruiters were responsive to my follow-up inquiries.

Long and met with many people - they wanted to find the right fit across many organizations. They want me to write 30 words here so here are a few more words
