Everything ADP...forum being run by current ADP Recruiters...Please stop in!

Welcome all. Please share your thoughts, questions, and comments about ADP in this group. We will have ADP recruiters assist in helping the public understand how our processes work.

We are here to help with everthing that is ADP.

Shane and Yvette, thank you for constructing this thread. I think this is a much more constructive way to answer questions.

That said, I am applying for a 38K+commission SBS position in los angeles.
- I've made it to the ride along. What should I be prepared for in upcoming interviews? What are some of the brownie points and pitfalls I should be aware of?

- What does ADP think of salary negotiation? Currently I am in a position where I make at least 50K. I'd like to see if I can bump my base salary up to 45K. Will tactfully asking for a higher base influence my hireability? Is that a reasonable amount to ask for (7K more)?

- Also, I'm not quite sure I want to start right away. Therefore, the waiting 15-30 days works in my favor. How do I ask to delay my start date without them thinking less of me.

All of these questions are contingent that I get hired first. :P

Kenji, good to hear you are being considered for employment here at ADP. Great questions and I think you should understand those are best for the recruiter you are working with.

There are allot of factors that have to be taken into consideration, your recruiter is best equipped to field those questions. And most importantly that is what we are here to do.

Keep in mind, with commissions, your total income would be higher here at ADP when you hit your quota compared to your current earnings.
Additionally you will have opportunities within our current comp package to increase your base salary during the first year. (based off of your performance)

If you have legit reasons for delaying a start date, we understand.

It's all about communicating with your recruiter during this whole process. Your contact can go into further detail on the points I brought up.

Thanks and I hope this puts you in the right direction.

Shane, thanks for the response. As I browse these threads, I'm impressed with how you're able to get back to almost everyone. That said, do you know what I should expect for the presentation? I'm positive I can nail the ride along portion of the interview. What sales steps should I use with the presentation? Thanks!

Hello Kenji,typically the main objective during the presentation, no matter what business unit you are applying with, is to get an understanding for your overall presentation skills and how comfortable you are presenting in front of one person or a group.

To get more specific feedback on other things that you can expect with the presentation the best person to get that information from is your recruiter, as Shane mentioned. The recruiter can give you specific information for SBS and the region.

I hope that this helps! Thank you again for your comments.

I met an Account Relationships Manager who is currently working at ADP. This person has helped me by personally submitting my resume to the recruiting team. I am applying for an SBS Sales Rep position. I was told i should expect a call to set up a time for an interview next week.

What should i expect from this call? Is it just to set up time or should i be prepared to demonstrate skills?

Do my chances of being hired increase substantially because i have been referred by a manager inside ADP?

Hi there,

I used to work for ADP in Miami about 8 years ago. I had to leave when my husband joined the Army. Since my kids are now school age, I would love to get back into working at ADP. It's an excellent company to work for. We are still in the Army, but I'm told that ADP does more homeshoring now within Implementation, which would allow to me to work out of my home but still stay with the company whenever we move. Where should I start as far as which job titles to apply for?

Hi Shane,

I replied to you in another thread, but would love a response here, or an e-mail. I'm a few interviews in for a mid level position at ADP Total Source (Territory Sales), just had my role play today and was sick, I still did ok on it, and now the hiring Manager wants me to call in this week as if I was setting an appointment with a CEO and try to set an appointment. If I do well, I'll get the ride along. If you could shoot me an e-mail, or if you have any ideas on how to call in, what I should or should not do. They said they may or may not answer when I call. I have years of sales experience but want to knock this dead as I know I was less than stellar with my last interview.

Thanks, or e-mail me anytime-Erik198226@yahoo.com

Thanks again-

Erik

Erik,

Thanks for reaching out. Sorry to hear you were not at your best for the roll play. At least it sounds like they are giving you another shot, so it couldn't have been that bad :-)

Either way, I recommend contacting the recruiter you originally spoke with and ask those same questions.

She/He will be better equipped to handle what you are looking for.

I already reached out to my colleague that covers your area in North Carolina to see if she could help you.

We have your e-mail address and hopefully we can get you some feedback to help.

Please keep our forum posted on how you make out.

Regards

Shane

Hey Shane,

I have read that ADP is a good place to work, and also see that they hire frequently in my area.

I have submitted my application for a handful of support and customer service positions. I know that I would be very successful in these roles. While I don't have a lot of directly related experience, I do have a high level of education and experience that would make me very valuable to ADP.

Do you have any suggestions for me in networking locally? Unfortunately, so far the process has all been online and impersonal. Are there ways for me to talk to someone about the position? Any other help you could give me?

If you would like to contact me directly, that would be great.

Thanks,

Ryan

Shane,

I ended up calling back, early in the morning, and left a VM. As I would for a Decision Maker. I never heard back, and after you replied to me I never heard back from my recruiter except them telling me they would call on Wed at 5:30, and they never called. I'm guessing I didn't move forward, but the whole process was fun but without any feedback from the recruiter, no calls, no nothing. I'd e-mail her or call her and ask for a response, and I'd get nothing, not even after I followed up after an interview. It made interviewing much harder, as I felt I was going in blind.

Thanks for your help though!

Erik

I was recently contacted by a recruiter in regards to a position with ADP. I was wondering what the process was, as I did the phone interview on Friday.

After reading up on ADP's products and company benefits I am very interested, but worried about my phone interview (due to time away from the Corp world). I have taken some time off work due to having had a child and am worried that it will affect me negatively since I am not currently employed.

Does everyone get a face to face interview? I normally interview well face to face and have no problem articulating my strengths. Can you give me any pointers on the whole interview process?

Feel free to shoot me an e-mail. If it's the person I spoke with, I'd be very hesitant about moving forward or being moved forward, or jut plain never hearing from her.....

shoot me an e-mail if you would like erik198226 at yahoo.com

Hey Eric I just emailed you in response to your reply.

Shane,

Does ADP let associates purhcase ADP stocks at discounted price?

Shawna

Hi Shane and fellow ADP forum users,

I am a recent college graduate living in San Diego and I've been working my tail off to try to break into the sales industry. Prior to going back to school I have unofficial sales experience such as retail, bartending, and cold calling to help build a now successful chiropractic clinic. I don't have the B2B sales experience that all sales jobs require however I am confident I have the skill set and confidence to be a successful saleswoman. ADP has a really great reputation as an excellent company to work for in sales and I have been striving to get in. Realizing that I have to prove my "natural talent" in my situation, I am trying to find other angles to get in other than my already submitted online application. I am writing to find out if anyone knows of the ADP sales manager or sales recruiter for the San Diego area? Or if anyone knows of a temp agency they might be hiring though. If anybody has any information I would really appreciate it!

Also I have to say I am a new user to Indeed forums and I am very impressed (for the most part) with the professionalism and people's willingness to help each other out!

Thanks!

Yes ADP does offer a discount on Stock Purchase. You are allowed to elect how much of your pre tax income can towards stock purchase.

Details of this will be available when you are hired on full time.

thanks

I'm in the interview process and heard that ADP does a through background check. Do they check education? I listed that I went to college but didn't disclose that I didn't graduate. Will this be an issue? I have my first face to face interview tomorrow and don't know if I should be bringing this up or how to disclose it without ruining my chances.

Thanks Shane! I have applied online, just trying to be proactive as well. My email is wendy.eick@gmail.com. I appreciate your help!

Make sure your recruiter knows the truth. Some hiring manager will only interview folks with a college degree.
If you listed that you graduated on your application, request the recruiter to allow you to update and correct.

ADP will verify your degree.

thanks and good luck

I applied to ADP and went through the whole interview process. After my role play interview, I was confident I had the job. I got the rejection letter on Tuesday and talked to the recruiter.

They said "I was too aggressive in my sales approach and had too much energy"...

I thought that was what they were looking for... It was for SBS outside sales.

To Whom It May Concern:

I have been in contact earlier this month with Automatic Data Processing(ADP). To date I have not heard from your office. I would like to confirm receipt of my application and reiterate my interest in the full time career opportunity. The position I applied to was Production Representative (Requisition number: MAS35036) in Elk Grove Village, IL.

I am very interested in working at your organization and I believe my skills and experience would be an ideal match for this position. I was refereed to your company and this position by Maureen Diskin who works at ADP Major Accounts HR and Benefits Service Center.

If necessary, I would be glad to resend my application materials or to provide any further information you might need regarding my candidacy. I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,

Hello Tom!
Sorry for the delayed response. I am an internal recruiter with ADP. You should be receiving communication from ADP Careers to the email address in our system on updates regarding your status. As of now, it does not seem like the position is still currently open. I would highly suggest continuing to visit the website for additional opportunities in your area.

I have applied several times online and no response. I have over ten years experience in dealerships and interested in implementation. Any advise?
