      Payroll Specialist Interview

      Jan 24, 2013
      Anonymous employee
      Oklahoma City, OK
      Accepted offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Paycom (Oklahoma City, OK) in Jan 2013

      Interview

      After applying online I had phone interview then I had to take a 30 question simulation test using excel and a typing test. I had an in person interview with a recruiter then another interview with a manager. After that I had an interview with the VP (don't remember of what department.) I also had a math/English assessment before my in person interview. Before the phone interview they told me they wouldn't hire someone who had had a dui or bankruptcy. I didn't have either so I didn't think there would be a problem. I received an offer and they did a background/drug/credit check. A few days later they told me my credit wasn't good enough and they retracted the offer. Wish I knew that before I spent all that time going to interviews. Didn't think credit would matter since the position was basically a customer service position.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      I did a role play about how I would deal with a customer. ..The questions were pretty typical. Why did you apply at Paycom? What are your strengths/ weaknesses? Tell us about yourself? Where do you see yourself in 5 years? How did you deal with an unhappy customer?

      Interview

      Interview process was amazing ! Leads and recruiter were / have been amazing . The follow up is where the issue was . Background review took more than two weeks and communication was terrible . The recruiter was amazing but limited to information assigned review specialist was terrible at communication and made me feel like I was begging for job

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Oklahoma City, OK) in Dec 2018

      Interview

      I was taken to a room immediately off the lobby. Staff was friendly but the wait was long. The interview was misleadingly positive, and was followed by an assessment.

      How I can fit into the structure of paycom as it grows?
