I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at ADP
Interview
The "ADP Staffing" office called me to schedule a phone screen. Then a phone screener called me, and we talked. Then she passed my info to the hiring manager. A phone interview was scheduled with the hiring manager. Because I was not local, the interview was done on the phone. After she interviewed me, she had another Payroll Manager come speak with me on speakerphone. After a week, I had another interview with yet another Payroll Manager. About 2 weeks went by, and I recieved the offer. Then the background check took about 3 weeks. I've always had my background check take 2-3 days, so I was certainly surprised that this background check took so much longer. Be prepared to wait. The entire process from the phone screen to clearing the background check took about 2 months.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
This is the question I always find difficult: what is your greatest weakness. Hard to answer diplomatically without losing the opportunity.
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.
