I recently applied to a county IT position that was a "continuous" opening. Given the pace of government hiring and how long the position had been posted I wasn't really expecting anything, but within three days I got emailed to schedule an SOI assessment.

For anyone that's been through these, how technical were the questions or are they more typical STAR/behavioral even for tech jobs? Are the hiring manager/members of the team even part of this process?

All I've been told is that it's a panel, everyone gets asked the same exact questions, and top scorers go onto an eligibility list. Does that mean they aren't really hiring right now and you just get pulled off a list when the job process gets going at some point?

Thanks for the help!
