I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Arlington Heights, IL) in Jun 2015
Interview
Very laid back... I had two phone interviews - one with the HR recruiter who is amazing. The other interview over the phone was with the director of the department. Also, another in-person interview with the manager I'd be working under. I was able to also shadow someone who was an implementation consultant at the time. It was a very quick and smooth process.
How do you handle stress? Tell me a time when you worked with a team? When have you dealt with a difficult customer and how did you react? Tell me a time you had to make a deadline.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paylocity (Rochester, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Very organized and the recruiters were very helpful in preparing for the interviews in person or via zoom depending on the job title. Very friendly atmosphere and welcoming nature of the team leads but I was somehow not selected. I am sure the competition is strong.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
They asked me to give them an overview of my resume using examples.
It was a very typical interview process. I interviewed with 3 separate individuals who all asked the majority of situational questions where the interviewee was to share examples of: an issue or client/customer question, my response and how it was handled or resolved and the client's response.
Interview with manager and possibly other manager/directors then once hired there are 2 test to take to see if you retained learning the job and must get 80% hire or you are let go.
