      Outside Sales Executive Interview

      Feb 18, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Portland, OR
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Paycom (Portland, OR) in Jan 2020

      Interview

      My first interview with the branch sales manager went well, she was so thoughtful and easy to converse with. I really enjoyed the hour I spent with her and was so excited about the job opportunity. However, I made it to the second round of interviews with the Regional VP and I lost all interest in this company. It felt like he was belittling me the entire time... he told me I wasn’t qualified enough for this role and made references to the fact that this job would be the most difficult thing I’ve ever done “besides growing up with a single mother.” It was truly an interrogation session and I have never felt more uncomfortable leaving an interview. If I wasn’t qualified enough or capable enough, why would I be asked to interview with him?

      Outside Sales Executive Interview

      Oct 13, 2020
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Boston, MA
      No offer
      Neutral experience

      Application

      I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Boston, MA) in Jun 2020

      Interview

      Got an employee referral from a close friend. Waited a couple weeks and took a couple reminder texts to hear back, but got a phone screen. The phone screen was low-pressure enough but lasted about an hour and went pretty in-depth. From what I've seen on Glassdoor, the interview process gets much more intense as you advance. In the end I sadly didn't make it past the phone screen because my experience didn't align enough with the job. I currently have a marketing job and they prefer either candidates fresh out of college, or with direct B2B sales experience.

      Outside Sales Executive Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Miami, FL
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Miami, FL) in Feb 2020

      Interview

      The interview process took approx. 2 weeks. I did a phone screen with the recruiter Hailey, then a zoom call with the sales manager Brendan, then an in person with the sales manager, then a zoom call with the regional vice president Amy. While I wasn't offered the role, the interview process was extremely pleasant. The recruiter was extremely thorough in answering my questions as well as making sure I was prepared and felt confident going into each conversation. I have interviewed with a lot of companies in the past and it is clear when recruiters care and when they do not. I learned a lot from speaking with the sales manager and regional vice president too, very smart people who are passionate about the company and it shows.
