I applied through other source. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Collabera (Portland, OR) in Mar 2014
Interview
Got a cold call about the position. After some preliminary discussion, was told the IBM hiring manager would contact me for phone interview. Heard from him immediately, and phone interview lasted about half an hour. Very basic questions. Desperately needed a project manager and was content with proven track record of experience and education. 5+ years and PMP were sufficient. Hired me at the interview. Drug screen and background check were done within a few a days and I reported for my first day about a week later.

Question 1
Was a very easy interview. Collabera judged my experience as a sufficient fit to recommend me to client (IBM).
Standard "cut and paste" type questions:
- What is your expected yearly salary or hourly rate?
- Are you currently on any assignment? Is your current assignment contract or permanent?
- Are you authorized to work for any employer in the US?
- Have you ever been convicted of a criminal offense?

Question 1
All the questions were extremely generic and could be asked for any position and any level of experience.
