Interviewed Apr 2012 in Cleveland, OH (took 2 weeks)
Contacted through a recruiter for Small Business opportunity. Told I am too qualified and moved to Major Accts opportunity. Phone interview with recruiter - easy. Phone interview with VP- very comfortable. In person interview with 2 Regional Managers- pretty easy questions here too. Position is Hunter - no real extensive relationship building. Very much focused on cold calling.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took 3 weeks)
Phone Interview w/ Recruiter for Screening (25 min)
1:1 with Hiring Manager
Ride with ADP Rep
Phone Interview with Regional VP
1:1 with Hiring Manager which included Presentation on the Field Ride. Offer was made.
Drug Test and Background Check
Overall the experience was thorough. You should really research the company and be ready to share your thoughts on what your learning. One recommendation is be very clear on what you want to accomplish as well as your story. What makes you YOU! What makes you special, what makes your experience a value add to ADP. If you can sell your story, you can sell ADP's solutions.
Negotiation Details
I would do your homework on what your region/territory is being offered. Talk to reps that are in your office, especially on the field ride if you have built a solid report with the rep your riding with. If there is something you want to negotiate, have that conversation face to face with the hiring manager.

Interviewed Aug 2010 in Richmond, VA (took 2 months)
After applying online and then passing a phone interview, I was told I needed to take personality and IQ tests. I took both and passed them. Then I was set up for the face to face. The meeting was with two sales managers and they wanted to know all the basic info about me and why I was looking etc. They really are looking to see how nervous you get and if you have a good personality. I closed the interview by asking to see what I can do to move forward. I was then given a ride along. This is again another personality test. You will actually sit through a presentation. For the most part you keep quiet but don't just sit there. I passed that and then I had another face to face. Now I had to put together a presentation. This is basically a report you generate to try and gain new business. They give you some vague guidelines but they really want to see your presentation skills. Here is where I had issues. I knew someone that worked there so they were expecting me to have a more ADP style presemtation. I kind of thought that was cheating in a way so I didn't. I think another factor was that I had very little experience. I was 3 years out of college. I ended up going through a series of interviews with Small Accounts and getting an offer but it was too low. Best advice is, if you know someone at ADP talk to them and get all the details, talk with your recruiter frequently and follow up, always ask for another interview. One question I would have though is how people are doing that have been there for a while. The salary I was told was 75k but then would drop to 40 plus commission. It does seem there is some turnover. Everyone seemed very nice though and it appeared like an overall good experience.

Interviewed May 2010 (took 4+ weeks)
I was referred by an employee for the position and was sent an on-line application and personality/IQ test. It took about 1 month for the recruiter to contact me after I completed the on-line assessment and left her a message to follow up. I had about a 45 min. phone interview, she was not very pleasant. Asked the typical, why are you interested in this job, etc. and talked about the job details. I received a call within 30 minutes after the interview to set up a meeting with the sales manager. Upon meeting him, he explained that there are multiple sales managers at their branch and the interview is typically done with all of them at the same time, however two were out of the office. Not sure why an interview would be scheduled if not all parties were available.
I got the impression that they are a conservative company and they may have the tendency to micro-manage. He talked about the importance of being a relationship builder in the sales process but possibly that is not what they are truly looking for. The interview lasted 1.5 hours and I thought it went well but received the "thanks but not thanks" email from the recruiter the following week.
My advice to other candidates: do research on the company, their product/service offerings and the position. Be knowledgeable about ADP when interviewing.

Interviewed Mar 2010 (took 2 weeks)
My interview process is now in its third week… the recruiter got in contact with me within 7 days of me submitting my resume. It took the recruiter 1 ½ weeks to get me the candidate assessment profile which I promptly completed. I followed up with the recruiter via email immediately and within 1 day had a telephone interview setup. The recruiter asked some interesting questions…

Interviewed Jan 2010 in Charlotte, NC (took 3 weeks)
Started with phone interview with ADP recruiter, then 1:1 interview with hiring manager, then group interview with several managers or sales VP and lastly a presentation to group. One on one interview was very thorough with all different sales situations thrown at you. Be prepared with any sales success situations that will show off your skills.
