J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 5 jours. J'ai passé un entretien chez Paychex (Chicago, IL) en mai 2022
Entretien
First interview is with HR Recruiter via phone
2nd Interview is with a hiring manager via Webex
The first interview consists of a few background questions in order to see if you're a good fit to progress to speaking with a hiring manager
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
The hiring manager interview consisted of walking through my resume in order to determine what past experiences made me a great candidate for the Account Executive position. As a sales professional the hiring manager also wanted to know how I generally spend my work day in a detailed manner. I was also asked about how I go about achieving goals and quotas. Also, of course I was asked the question - Why Paychex and why now?

Two interviews. One virtual one in person. Not difficult, entry level sales. Need to set own appointments and close existing customers. It was a grind, however it was remote. No territory remote selling.

Waste of time. Recruiter asked irrelevant questions and seemed disinterested after reaching out to me. Describe the interview process. Describe the interview process. You shouldn’t have to do this to access this site.
The interview process itself was fairly standard but stretched over the course of two months. It started with a phone screening with the recruiter, followed by interviews with the manager and someone I believe was the DM (though I’m not exactly sure of their title).
Throughout the process, I was transparent about being in conversations with other companies. Toward the end, I was asked, “What would you need to accept an offer?” I simply requested a higher base salary. The manager responded, “Let me talk to my boss—I’ll try to get you $XX,XXX.”
After that conversation, things stalled. I followed up with the recruiter every Monday for several weeks. Each time, I was told, “We’re still waiting on the DM—we want to give you the best offer possible.” Then, after weeks of silence, I received an automated rejection email stating they had gone with another candidate.
After investing two months into the process, I expected at least a phone call. But I suppose that lack of communication explains why the turnover is so high.
