Paychex interview questions

process began with recruiter calling me and doing initial interview over the phone. You have to then fill out a career history form. It's purpose is to ensure you are willing to provide names of your past and present supervisors and your wllingness to grant permission to contact them. Then you are presented with a math test geared for someone who just graduated college. There are 50 questions you must answer 16 correctly or you are out. Initial interview with stuffy manager. Second interview with another manager which is geared towards ensuring you are compatible and they go through your resume and ask how you sell today and what your sales cycle is. Personality test , then go on to meet a district manager and do role plays with both managers. They are looking for candidates that can do one call closes. It didn't seem like they were interested in a consulative sales approach for customers. My impression is that they are interested in hiring younger candidates for their sales positions.

After applying online, I was contacted by a national recruiter to schedule a phone interview. Prior to the phone interview I was asked to fill out a lengthy Career History Form. Phone interview consisted of questions about background and previous experience that would make me a good candidate for an outside sales position. The recruiter shared that the job was $40K base plus commission. The national recruiter then set up a 1:1 interview with the local DSM. Prior to the in person interview, I was asked to fill out an Application for Employment. This was even longer than the Career History Form with lots of overlap. There were also many questions that didn't seem to be relevant to the job (ie. High School GPA). The 1:1 consisted of a timed math test and interview. After this interview, I was invited back to take a personality test and schedule a ride along with another Sales Rep.
