I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at ADP (Chertsey, England) in Aug 2017
Interview
The interview process for ADP was a step by step process which seemed very logical to me. Each step of the process was clearly explained and followed up by very supportive staff who were happy to help.
After the initial application process which were online assessments and phone interview, if you were lucky enough to get through this you were invited to an assessment day.
This was great fun and you were made to feel very comfortable, it consisted of a multitude of activities which enabled the many people involved in deciding if you were right for ADP to witness different aspects of your personality.
The day was run very efficiently and the lunch provided was actually decent quality food, nice full sandwiches, crisps biscuits and fruit. And not just your run of the mill soggy sandwiches as you would expect.
Even if I hadn't of been successful in the process (which I was lucky enough to have been) the day was a valuable experience and helped me learn a lot about myself and the way I work. I also left with a full stomach!!
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Have you ever had to deal with a difficult customer? (Scenario and how you dealt with it)
The interview process took a few weeks and was a bit tedious. However, it was not difficult. There were just lots of steps to the different stages. However, everyone was super nice.
The interview went well. I met with payroll managers who asked both behavioural and technical questions. They created a fairly comfortable atmosphere, which helped me answer confidently and engage meaningfully throughout.

Question 1
What's the difference between lump sum and bonus taxation
How do you manage payroll deadlines
How do you handle confidential information
Started with and over the phone interview, where the recruiter asked if I had questions. Once I began to ask a question she cut me off and said the hiring manager would actually be answering any questions you might have. Okay sure. Next step of the process was I needed to do a video interview. We agreed upon a time of midafternoon. A few hours before my scheduled time I get an email saying actually she’s not available at this time anymore, we’re signing you up for this time. A time I wasn’t available as I take night classes. Next day I get an email saying I’m no longer being considered. Was a highly unprofessional process.
