      Account Executive Interview

      7 May 2018
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Declined offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Paylocity in May 2018

      Interview

      I applied via LinkedIn. The recruiter reached out to me within a few hours of viewing my profile. He called me to set up a time to chat the following week. During the next call, he talked to me a little about himself, and then he asked me to explain my current role. Once I did that, he abruptly ended the conversation (in the name of transparency) saying that the hiring manager is looking for someone with outside sales experience. Mind you, this information was not listed in the job description nor does my resume indicate that I have outside sales experience. My resume was clearly not vetted properly, and resulted in a large waste of my time. 10/10 would not recommend.

      Thank you for your feedback! Paylocity believes screening the best fit for a role often goes beyond solely vetting a candidate’s resume. There are many crucial qualities that could contribute to a successful experience in a role that may not be revealed on a resume. Therefore, especially in the preliminary stages of an application, our TA team likes to hear directly from the candidate. We value transparency above all else and these conversations contribute to a clearer and more holistic understanding of a candidate’s relevant background and fit for the role, rather than a vet and decline where candidates are often left with questions. We sincerely apologize if your experience with us was not as positive and constructive as it could be in this instance and wish you all the best!
