I applied through an employee referral. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex in Jan 2012
Interview
Interviewing at Paychex is a multi-step process. First interview was a phone call with an internal recruiter. Reviewed work history, job expectations. Second interview was with manager. Reviewed work history all the way back to summer jobs during college. Third interview was with zone manager and manager.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paychex (Houston, TX)
Interview
Applied on-line. Was contacted by a recruiter. Took an online assessment (math reasoning and verbal skills). Went to a job fair at the company and had an interview. Never heard from anyone afterwards. The whole process took about a month to a month and a half. I had to contact the recruiter several times and left many voicemails before ever being contacted back. I also received calls and emails from the recruiter on the weekends...I thought that was odd. I was interviewed by two people and they asked general interview questions. I had the chance to ask them questions and usually one person would answer and the other person would agree with what (s)he said.
