I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ADP (Irvine, CA) in Aug 2015
Interview
I was contacted by a recruiter through Linkedin regarding the Account executive position at ADP. I Applied for it online and after they reviewed my resume, the recruiter set up a phone interview with me. We chatted briefly about myself and whether or not I was a good fit for the job. The recruiter was very nice and straight to the point. She broke down what the job entailed and basically what they do at ADP. I got along with her quite well. She then proceeded to set up a face-to-face interview at the ADP office with the VP of sales the following week. I got there nice and early and I had a good feeling about the interview beforehand. I was also a little nervous to be honest, seeing that this was my first real post college job interview. During the interview, the interviewer seemed rather dry and uninterested. The interview started with him asking me to ask him questions about the job which threw me off a little bit, as I wasn't expecting that until the end of the interview. He then asked me a few questions regarding my education and previous experience in sales. It felt as if he had already interviewed a ton of candidates before me and he just wanted to finish up with me as soon as possible. I didn't feel that I was given enough time during the interview. Although I must admit I would've answered some of the questions differently if I could do it over (as they say hindsight 20/20). It definitely was a great learning experience for me. Needless to say, I did not hear back from them after the interview.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ADP (Omaha, NE) in Mar 2026
Interview
Interview process was pretty straight forward. It started with an initial screening call, zoom meeting with a sales leader then in person interview with sales manager. They are big on role play and "what would you do in this scenario?"
