Average Interview

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks.I interviewed at ADP (Salem, NH) in 01/02/2024

Interview

Interview process was seamless, and the hiring team did a great job keeping me in the loop. It was three steps; first with the recruiter virtually, second with the VP of Sales virtually, then the final day was a full day comprised of an interview, a shadow, and a role play, Again, recruiting team did a great job preparing me for everything. They appreciate honesty and a willingness to want the job. I asked for the job at the end of my final interview, and then received an offer before I left the building. From recruiter contact to job offer, the process was less than three weeks.

    I applied online. I interviewed at ADP (Bloomington, MN)

    Interview

    Mainly just asked pretty simple questions. They are looking for people that are money motivated and outgoing. They also want you to close them in the interview. For example, say you really want the job, ask what the next steps are. Show assertiveness.

              Difficult Interview

              Application

              I applied online. I interviewed at ADP (Chicago, IL) in 01/08/2017

              Interview

              You apply to a job board website, the recruiter (if interested) will call you for a 10-20 minute pre screen phone interview. Then, you come in to an office near you, mine was Chicago and you interview with the VP. He was rude, checking his phone, and yawning during the interview and had I not known better, I would guess he was uninterested. However, I know the game and they want to see how you react to someone challenging you. Be yourself and answer thoroughly. He tried to again challenge me by saying "you may be a better fit for the apprenticeship" and wants to see how you react. I simply said I was not called in to interview for the apprenticeship, I want to work for ADP as an outside sales representative and so what are the next steps. Was granted a "ride day" this is an all day field ride with a "top performer" so be prepared to be there all day, unpaid (some companies pay you for doing this), and ask a lot of questions. Then if the rep likes you he somehow sends a text to the manager without you knowing and you are then brought back to the office and will do a role play with two product offerings as the manager playing the customer. If you can sell him, you are offered the job on the spot. It is not as in depth as you would imagine, and they allow you to study for 10 minutes before going in. I paid close attention to how the rep I rode with spoke to his clients and I worked that into my presentation. I was offered the job before I left. CLOSE, ask for the the job!!!

              Interview questions [4]

              Question 1

              Why would we hire someone like you who already wants to leave your current job?

              Question 2

              Why do you think you would be successful in outside sales?

              Question 3

              Tell me 3 qualities about yourself that would apply to this role and 3 things that would work against you in this role about yourself

              Question 4

              How do you feel about doing an apprenticeship for 2-3 months at $13/hour?

                  Interview

                  Was contacted by HR and set up initial phone interview. Very easy and they just want to see if you are a good fit for the role. Was asked to do an in person interview with the VP. I met with the VP and went very well. After our meeting he asked me to meet with two of the other team members. I then met with two managers who were also very nice and asked a lot of questions just to see if I was a good fit. I was contacted the next day to come back for a final round interview which is a ride along. However, I already accepted an offer from another company.

                    Interview

                    The interview is pretty much straight forward. They tell you to sell yourself. Make sure to be enthusiastic and genuine. And ask questions. Be sure to ask for feedback. I met with the VP of Sales for Small Business Solutions and previous to that, i had a phone interview with a talent acquisition recruiter. The first interview asked questions regarding your background as well as some info about the company, what the position entails, etc.

                    Interview questions [1]

                    Question 1

                    Why do you want to work for ADP? Why sales? in particular outside sales? What motivates you? What do you think this job entails? What aspects do you look for when looking for a career opportunity?
