I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paylocity (Arlington Heights, IL) in Aug 2013
Interview
I had a total of 4 interviews. The first 3 are phone interviews. First is with the recruiter, second is with the manager and 3rd was with the director. The 4th interview was in person with the hiring manager. The process is different from employees applying directly to a remote position. I was originally hired as an in office employee and was promoted to remote.

Question 1
Give me an example of a time you failed at something.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Paylocity (Rochester, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Very organized and the recruiters were very helpful in preparing for the interviews in person or via zoom depending on the job title. Very friendly atmosphere and welcoming nature of the team leads but I was somehow not selected. I am sure the competition is strong.

Question 1
They asked me to give them an overview of my resume using examples.
It was a very typical interview process. I interviewed with 3 separate individuals who all asked the majority of situational questions where the interviewee was to share examples of: an issue or client/customer question, my response and how it was handled or resolved and the client's response.
Interview with manager and possibly other manager/directors then once hired there are 2 test to take to see if you retained learning the job and must get 80% hire or you are let go.
