I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom in Dec 2023
Interview
Recruiter reached out on LinkedIn, followed with a screening call. Then a meeting with the regional sales manager and VP of Sales. After those 3 interviews, they bring you into the office to do a demo of the platform and actively cold call. They send you a video of the mobile app but do not allow you access to practice in the app beforehand. You present a demo to the sales team and then that is followed by a cold calling session with the expectation you book 3 meetings from their lead list. I was there around 3-4 hours in the office and the rest of the team was also cold calling. Not a single person booked 3 meetings in the time frame I was there. If you don't book 3 intro meetings from cold calling, you do not get an offer.
It's a strange thing to expect sales reps to cold call into a territory and handle objections on a software they are not familiar with or ever used before.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Paycom (Washington, DC) in Jul 2024
Interview
Strung me along through the interview process only to say they were going with someone else after basically telling me I had the job. Then heard that they were starting the interview process with someone I knew indicating they were not going with someone else.

Interview was easy but something didn’t feel right so I declined the offer. They seemed to salesy to me, almost like trying to get me to accept on the dot.
