I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Paychex (Rochester, NY) in May 2018
Interview
Very relaxing and easy going didn't feel any pressure even though i interviewed with 3 people also they made me feel comfortable which made me relax and helped the process run smooth
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Greensboro, NC) in Sep 2018
Interview
Very thorough process. If they're interested in you, a recruiter will email you about the job, benefits, etc. ..with an Assessment link via the email. The test included math questions and customer service scenarios. You must pass this test in order to move on to the next step. The next step is a phone interview with a recruiter. Upon completion of the 2nd step, you are called in for an interview, mine was the following week with a branch supervisor and the recruiter, which lasted 1 hour. You then go shadow with a current Payroll Specialist, and then finally a Senior Manager. The entire interview took a little over two hours.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
When was a time you were not able to deliver something the customer wanted? What was the outcome?
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex
Interview
Put an application in, was contacted shortly afterwards by a recruiter. Scheduled a phone screening, everything went great. Had a mix up about location preferences, so compromised and went to an interview in a location a few hours away and kept an open mind. Once I arrived, they didn’t have any seating, and they were in the middle of a business deal, so I had to stand and wait to be interviewed. Once I got in, I was interviewed by two people, definitely a good cop/bad cop routine with very pressing and interrogative interview techniques. I felt like I could’ve been a great opportunity, but it didn’t work out.
