Alliant Techsystems Business Development interview questions

Time consuming...took several months between initial contact and actual offer. Numerous level of approval and interviews before an offer is made. A couple of phone interviews plus a group interview with roughly 8 people.

ATK uses a variety of outside placement firms to find candidates. This was supposedly a confidential search since the incumbent was being replaced, but the job was posted to several job boards. The chief challenge is the job description ATK provides the placement firm bears little resemblance to the position ATK is hiring for, and since ATK doesn't provide the recruiter specifics, it's difficult to know what it being sought. You end up answering general questions to the best of your ability while wondering if the recruiter has really read your resume. If he had, he wouldn't have called. I clearly didn't have subject matter/domain knowledge in the area they were recruiting for. This should have been a simple phone screen that lasted a few minutes rather than a hour long conversation in which I kept repeating myself.
