      Account Executive Interview

      30 Mar 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Chicago, IL
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Paylocity (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2018

      Interview

      I was very disappointed in this interviewing process because based on the Interviewing reviews I had very high expectations. A recruiter reached out to me via LinkedIn, and I reached out to her shortly after. A few days went by and still no response, so I proceeded to call the recruiter and she picked up and apologized for being busy. A few more days went by and she finally scheduled a phone interview. We had the phone interview and the opportunity seemed great! I am actually working with a competitor of Paylocity so this would've been a very easy transition for me. When we had the phone screen the recruiter seemed to ask very basic questions. She asked very little about my background, but provided a lot of information about Paylocity, which was fine because the opportunity and growth seems awesome. I asked if she would be proceeding with me and her answers were not clear because she said she was working with a new hiring manager. This seemed a bit off to me, but I thought maybe she was busy and overwhelmed. I sent a Thank you note and then went 3 weeks without a response from the recruiter, even after I reached out twice to get an update. I also found out that one of my former coworkers was interviewing with the same recruiter. My former coworker informed me that she was having the same experience with the same recruiter. I decided to reach out to a friend of mine who is a recruiter at Paylocity that actually suggested I apply to Paylocity. My friend apologized that her colleague was not being responsive and reached out to the recruiter for me to get an update. I immediately got a response from the unresponsive recruiter stating the hiring manager did not want to move forward with no explanation. I asked for feedback and I have not gotten a response to this day and that was a over a month ago. Again, I was disappointed by this experience with Paylocity because it seems as though the company has really taken initiatives to improve candidate experience.

      Question 1

      Thank you for your feedback on your candidate experience with Paylocity. We are sorry that your contact with one of our recruiters and overall interviewing experience was disappointing. We are committed to a positive and attentive experience for all candidates so it is deeply disconcerting for us to read about the frustrations you withstood in your attempts to follow-up on your application and phone interview with your recruiter. Since Paylocity’s inception, our foundation has been built on a candidate-first philosophy. We have built trainings and measures around this to ensure that the communication between candidate, recruiter, and hiring manager remains as fluent and transparent as possible. Your candid feedback grants us insight towards advancing our trainings and communication methods so this does not occur again. If you are willing, please reach out to our Sales Recruiting Manager, Corey Harris, at charris@paylocity.com, so we can learn more details about your experience and continue this conversation with you. Thank you and best wishes -
