Paylocity Interview Questions

Everything was good at the beginning. The recruiter was polite, and interviewers were quite nice. After I had finished the take-home project, the recruiter asked me to provide available times for the next interview. I sent a list of my available times for the following week. Afterwards, the recruiter never got back to me. Two weeks later, I received an email saying that they had decided to proceed with another candidate.

The interview was hybrid. Done at first through phone and video, then onsite. Really great interaction and it was very casual. The conversation was focused on it being a fit in both directions. They seemed to have great culture and they seemed to just want to get to know you.

I bailed out after the process after a video screen with senior leadership. Seemed like an overly serious person w/ very lightweight background despite their senior title. Did not have any etiquette (I will skip the details). Did not bother to learn my name or address me by it. No pleasantries - dived right in.

I applied online and was sent a link from a recruiter to schedule an interview. The initial interview was supposed to be a phone interview, but the recruiter never called. I waited 25-30 mins before emailing the recruiter to see if everything was okay or if the interview needed to be rescheduled. Never heard back. Very unprofessional. My time is valuable as well.

Extremely fast, efficient process. First round was a call with the recruiter. Next, I had to take a technical assessment. After that, I had the final round interview which included another technical interview along with a behavioral interview.

Initial meeting with Recruiter was very positive. He talked about the company's culture, and it sounded like a great place. An interview was scheduled with the hiring manager for the position which didn't go so well. When the video call started, he seemed bothered that he had to interrupt his day for the interview. He had to pause and step away to handle issues in the background and was overall very impersonal. I tried to remain enthusiastic and positive, but he made it a challenge.

Smooth and relaxed, everything was fast and well done. They were respectful and very clear in each step of the process. I was just not the best fit for the role.

Got to the final round and solved a case study. Could not ace the interview. First phone interview, then one video interview and then one final interview. In the final interview, asked more scenarios about case study.

First round was ok, just the average interview. But in the second round they really ramped up the intensity. The questions themselves were normal but the manager had a cut throat demeanor. Seemed like a overly intense environment for internal IT.

A joke. I’m starting to think they just post the job but then don’t hire anyone. I applied Sept 23’ and had all the requirements they listed in the job posting. Yet the recruiter said because of my experience she knows they’re going to want me to start as a Growth Market AE, with significantly lesser pay. Again, I had all qualifications they were looking for for the HCM role. Then she gets back to me a few days later just to say they’ve decided not to move forward at all? I’ve seen them post these exact same jobs at least 3-4 times since I’ve applied and out of all the candidates, you haven’t found anyone?? Very bad taste in my mouth about this company.
