I applied online. The process took 6 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex in Dec 2021
Interview
Started off great. Recruiter and I had a great conversation about my background, experience, the job, etc. Was moved forward to speak with a district manager. Unfortunately the time she scheduled did not work for me so I asked for the next day or Monday. It took 3 weeks to get that interview rescheduled.
Between that and the rescheduled interview I had to reach out the the recruiter every week asking for an update on the date and time for the rescheduled interview.
Finally had the interview with the district manager and she wanted to move me forward into the next round. I once again had to reach out to the recruiter about the next steps.
I eventually gave up because I was offered an opportunity with another company within this two month span.
My advice is make sure your recruiters stay on top on candidates. I felt like this was going to be a great opportunity and company but that went all way with the interview process.

Interview
After submitting my resume a recruiter reached out and set up an initial interview. After that, you interview with a manager. If things progress you might come in for a role play or shadow someone in the field.

Interview
I was called for an initial phone interview. Then I was invited to a virtual interview. After that I was asked to meet with the hiring manager. I found it very way and straight forward.
I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (New York, NY) in Jan 2022
Interview
Recruiter phone interview. Interview with manager. 2 hour shadowing taken out of my full time workday and then a sales presentation interview. Was told I would hear back at the end of day after the presentation and heard nothing. Super bad look on the manager and company. Glad I dodged a bullet with this management and company! Unless you want hours of time wasted, I would steer clear.
