Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paychex (Albuquerque, NM) in Jan 2015
Interview
Recruiter contacted me for a phone interview after finding my resume on Indeed.com
I was sent a skills quiz. I was contacted by the recruiter the next day after he reviewed my scores to set up an appointment for the upcoming onsite job fair.
I attended a Job Fair on Site
Myself and 10 others met with the recruiter and branch manager, attended a presentation on the company
I interviewed with two CSS's for 30 minutes
The recruiter called me back two days later to welcome me to the company
Interview process consisted of 2 interviews and one shadowing session. Interview questions were pretty standard STAR structure. I interviewed in person with one supervisor while one other was on a video call.

Question 1
Describe a time when you made a mistake and how you handled it
I had two interviews. First one was with one manager and the second was with two other managers. The interview s lasted about 30 minutes each. They asked about my payroll background and several questions that started out with, "tell me about a time..."
Very simple. A round table interview with scenario-based questions. They ask mostly about previous interactions with co-workers as well as customers. It is a customer service job and you are dealing with payroll which can get very overwhelming
