Paychex Payroll Specialist Interview

Accepted Offer – Interviewed in Fair Lawn, NJ Jun 2012 – Reviewed Jul 8, 2012

Interview Details – I used my friend that works there as a referral. I applied for the job online the beginning of June. I received a call from a very nice recruiter two weeks later. She interviewed me over the phone about my job history then she sent me a link to do a logic test and problem solving test. The next day she called me to schedule a 1:1 interview with a dept. manager. He asked me behavioral questions and gave me a personality test. Two days later I received a call from the recruiter to schedule the secound interview. I met with two supervisors that asked questions regarding my past experiences (multitasking, co-worker issues, organizational skills,etc). After I interviewed with them the head department manager asked me the same questions regarding work ethic. She advised me that I would receive a call no later next Wednesday which was a week away because the hiring manager was on vacation. I received a call from the recruiter on Monday telling me I got the job...The whole process took about 2-3 weeks but the recruiter was very nice and sweet.
