I was initially contacted by a Paychex recruiter, who contacted me for all of my interviews (4 total, including ride-a-long - which was also an interview). The process went something like this:
- Battery of Sales/personality testing (2 days total)
- 1st Interview - Conducted by a Sales Rep who was being groomed for promotion (approx. 1 hour)
- 2nd Interview - Ride-a-long with a top rep in the company (approx. 3-3 1/2 hours)
- 3rd Interview - Conducted by District Manager and Sales Rep who conducted 1st interview (approx. 50 mins
- 4th Interview - Regional Manager (approx. 50 mins)
Very professional - yet relaxed atmosphere. People seemed pleasant.
