I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at ADP (Augusta, GA) in Nov 2012
Interview
I applied for a position online and received a phone called from a recruiter to take a online assessment then schedule a phone interview. The phone interview was mostly about what I was looking for in employment and we went over my resume. A few days later I was contacted for a face to face interview with a manager. I met with the payroll supervisor. For my interview I dressed myself in a business suit because I viewed ADP as a professional company. When I meet the supervisor he was dressed in jeans, a t-shirt and sneakers. The supervisor explained that they were dressing down until the end of the year, I felt very over dressed. But the interview seemed to go well. I was told I would be contacted within 2-3 weeks regardless of their decision and I never heard from them.

Question 1
The interview questions were mostly questions that wanted me to explain situations where I made mistakes. I felt they were looking more for faults to weed people out than good qualities.
The interview process took a few weeks and was a bit tedious. However, it was not difficult. There were just lots of steps to the different stages. However, everyone was super nice.
The interview went well. I met with payroll managers who asked both behavioural and technical questions. They created a fairly comfortable atmosphere, which helped me answer confidently and engage meaningfully throughout.

Question 1
What's the difference between lump sum and bonus taxation
How do you manage payroll deadlines
How do you handle confidential information
Started with and over the phone interview, where the recruiter asked if I had questions. Once I began to ask a question she cut me off and said the hiring manager would actually be answering any questions you might have. Okay sure. Next step of the process was I needed to do a video interview. We agreed upon a time of midafternoon. A few hours before my scheduled time I get an email saying actually she’s not available at this time anymore, we’re signing you up for this time. A time I wasn’t available as I take night classes. Next day I get an email saying I’m no longer being considered. Was a highly unprofessional process.
