I applied online. I interviewed at ADP in Mar 2017
Interview
The interview process started with a recruiter call. Then it moved to a face-to-face with a VP a week later. That went very well, and two weeks later, I was moved to another face-to-face with a group of leadership/management and asked to create a 20 minute power-point presentation for a mock-sales presentation to a prospective client. I did extremely well on this (As it is what I've spent the last 10 years doing professionally) and the feedback I received was basically "If it were up to us, I'd hire you right here and now and have you working today!" I felt fantastic to hear such positive feedback---but then --- After another 2 weeks of COMPLETE SILENCE---I was asked to do a ride-along with an employee to basically give me a better idea of the position. It was as if it was my turn to decide if the position was something I would be interested in. Why do this part, if you don't want to hire the candidate? Seems like it would be a massive waste of everyone's time. The person I spoke with said "If you've gotten this far, you're basically hired." ---well, a week after that I get an email saying they want to have one more phone call with me. 4 days later I get another phone call asking if i'm still interested (Making me feel like they offered the job to someone, or several others, and they declined, and I became "the back-up" plan dangling on a thread) ---I express my interest still, they ask more interview questions then say "Great we'll have an answer for you most likely tomorrow"----a full week passes, and then I get the generic email "Thanks for your time blah blah"--
the interview process was 2 months long. I was basically told I pretty much had the job near the end----until I received the generic copy-paste rejection email. Communication through this process was perhaps the worst level of professionalism i'd ever seen. A final-level candidate shouldn't have to reach out to you to ask for information because weeks have gone by with no information (Despite promising to provide information). A tremendous waste of my time a resources. It's unfortunately, but ADP hasn't impressed me as offering strong professional standards in their recruiting process.
This is disconcerting interview review and we would love to know more. Please contact us at adp_talent_community@adp.com if you wish to share more details about your interview experience.

I applied through an employee referral. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at ADP (Poughkeepsie, NY) in Apr 2026
Interview
Met with recruiter then 2 interviews with VP and then with hiring manager. Interview was straight forward, asked why sales and why ADP. Experience wasn't that great, hiring manager told me he'd love me on the team then ghosted me for 3 weeks. finally got back to me that there was not any cap space.
Two interviews after recruiter screening call. They were very friendly and got back to my very fast. You don't have much time to decide on offer. You do one role play with managers
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at ADP (Woodland Hills, CA) in Mar 2026
Interview
The managers were very friendly and great work environment culture. It's very corporate office. They asked lots of situational questions and try to understand what personality type you have. Made you do a mock call during the last round of interview.
