I had a phone screen with a recruiter where they asked basic questions regarding salary requirements, location, what I was looking for. They genuinely seemed interested in what I was looking for and to see if it was a good match. This was followed up by a phone panel interview which was very professional but laid back in a good way. It felt more like a discussion of my qualifications and how it aligned with what the company was looking for. It seemed that I may be over-qualified for the position but they were interested in my skill set and what I brought to the table and told me they would speak with the recruiter and she would be back in touch with me in a few days. Within a few days, I heard from the recruiter who stated that while I was over-qualified for that position and they did not think met my salary requirements (the top end of that salary would have been the bottom end of what I would have been able to take) that they would like to take a week or two to get back to me with more information. A week and a half later I was again contacted by the recruiter and was told they would like me to come on-site and meet with the team to discuss what they had in mind. I met with the team and it was very comfortable, I was shown the org chart and was told about where they thought my strengths would be a benefit to the company and asked if that was something I would consider taking on. I was fine with that. Two weeks later I received a great offer (contingent upon an interim clearance) and was onboarded within a month of that (completely understandable due to the clearance which is out of their control).
