Entretien
This was the longest interview process I've had for an entry-level role! I applied online and connected with a recruiter on LinkedIn. From there, I had:
1- A brief phone screen with a recruiter. Lasted 30 minutes. Went over standard interview questions about what interested me in the role.
2- A phone interview with the Manager of Recruiting and the Director of IT. Lasted 1 hr and 30 minutes. Almost 100% situational and personality-oriented questions. ("Tell us about a time when ______ happened.")
3- A phone interview with the Director of Payroll Services. Lasted ~30 minutes. Again, almost 100% situational and personality-oriented questions. She asked a few of the same questions from interview #2.
4- (I didn't get this far in the process, but if I had continued...) An onsite interview with the Bellevue team.
I ended up accepting another position before finishing the interview process, but Populus Group definitely seemed like a great place to work your way up! Almost everyone who interviewed me had worked as a Payroll Administrator at one point.

The interview process for me wasn't too bad. I only had two interviews. One was a culture interview where I interviewed with someone in leadership. This interview is to determine if you fit in with the culture of the company/office. My second interview was more situational questions and typical interview questions.

The process began with me being contacted by a recruiter for Populus Group and spending some time talking with her about my background, the company, and the job I'd applied for. She then scheduled a phone interview for me. The phone interview is considered their cultural interview, meaning they want to see if you'd be a good fit for the company as company culture is very important to them. Next, an in-person interview was scheduled for me at their local office. This was the technical interview, having to do with the job itself. Everyone I interacted with was great and I got a good impression of Populus Group. Unfortunately, I was not chosen for the position and did not have what would have been a final phone interview.
Questions d'entretien [1]
Question 1
A lot of the questions were the type where they ask you to "describe a time when...", like "Describe a time when you received criticism on your work" or "Tell me how you've responded when someone in your group wasn't doing their part?"
Also be prepared with questions about the company and about the position you are applying for.

PG is aiming to become a preferred provider, which means they are working hard to develop a strong, coveted company culture. Their interview process reflects this. There are 3 interviews. The first two focus on "getting to know you." They don't ask very much about your skills or experience. More so, what are your likes, dislikes, etc. The final interview becomes more technical, incorporating the job-specific skills that you'll need and how your experience corresponds to them. My interpretation is that personality and character are most important to the company, even if you lack the experience.
