I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paychex in Apr 2020
Interview
I was recruited by their HR team and had an interview with a sales manager who was nothing but rude and condescending the entire interview. It was a terrible experience and I have no intention of seeking employment there again.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paychex (Minneapolis, MN) in Sep 2021
Interview
I was connected for an interview with Paychex for a sales/business development position through a recruiter and had no follow up after my interview with the hiring manager or the recruiter.
I applied online. I interviewed at Paychex (New York, NY) in Feb 2021
Interview
Very pleasant and transparent process; took a little over two weeks. I applied for a position on the Paychex website and a recruiter reached out to me and set up a call. Was willing to listen to any challenges I had with my resume and her goal was to present me in the best possible light.
My next step was a 30-minute "meet and greet" with the Hiring Manager which was followed by a one-hour call to go over why I think I would be a good fit for Paychex, my background, behavioral questions, and questions for the Hiring Manager.
Next, I did "virtual" ride alongs, sitting in on calls with folks on the team. I got to ask a lot of questions and everyone was pleasant and transparent.
The final round was a mock sales call. I prepared quite a bit for this and the call went well and the Hiring Manager went over what I did well and what I could improve on which I appreciated! I got an offer the next day.
