I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (Chicago, IL) in Aug 2017
Interview
This was very long process and rightfully so. They invest a great deal in you for the training in New York. I was interviewed for a payroll sales position and then was introduced to a 401k manager instead, did the ride day, and two phone interviews with the DSM and Zone Manager. I was then told no, but they really liked me, so I received a second opportunity with the payroll division. I, again, went on the ride day and had a phone interview with the DSM. I was then offered the job.
All in:
Recruiter 20 minute phone interview to gauge communication skills and ability for position.
Then a digital video interview which was extremely uncomfortable, but just be confident!
I then came in for a in person interview. Then was invited back for a follow up in person interview. Went on two field rides, and had a total of 3 more phone interviews.
Highlights: Jody was my recruiter for the positions and she was amazing. Extremely helpful and comforting throughout the process. Additionally, my conversation with the DSM was phenomenal and a truly enlightening experience. He brought out the true reasons why I wanted to work for Paychex and why I can succeed in the role.
This was an extremely long process, but was the job I wanted and I was willing to go through it all. Good luck!

Question 1
Why would you be better for this role than someone with more experience?
I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Culver City, CA) in Jan 2025
Interview
I was referred to this company by a friend who is in sales. He is not at the company anymore but he says it was a good experience. It was a multi-step process, math test and ride along.
Basic screening call, then call with hiring manager, then interview with another manager. Was informed of position details and walked through offering. Was informed I didn't get the position the week after my final interview. Pretty standard.
