I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jun 2016
Interview
I was contacted by a sales manager shortly after submitting my application to take part in a phone screening. The phone screening was about 25-30 minutes and he asked me basic questions about my prior experience, skill set and ambitions for the future. He then gave me a run-down of the job and asked if I was still interested. And I was!
I was then contacted a day later by one of their recruiters to schedule an onsite interview. I took a half day at work and took part in the 2.5-hour onsite interview. I met with five people back-to-back who were representative of various levels of management, i.e. sales manager, sales VP, sales training manager, etc. The only tidbit I have for this part of the process is that one of the team members who interviews you will likely exclusively ask work culture-type questions to see if you would mesh well with team. This part wasn't hard, but I had never been asked about my feelings on work environment preferences. I viewed this particular conversation as very important as it showed the company's commitment to employee satisfaction and a rich culture.
The next day, I was invited back to interview with the CEO, Isaac. While interviewing directly with the CEO sounds intimidating, it was actually a very pleasant experience as Isaac is easy going, friendly and incredibly smart. I thought this interview went well but was a bit nervous leaving my "final" interview. The next day I was contacted by the person I did the initial phone screening with and met officially during the onsite interview with an offer. The offer was great for someone just starting out in sales and I enthusiastically accepted!
Some people mentioned that the interview process was disorganized or not good. Well, as of June 2016 I can say Justworks has it figured out because it was the most expedient and thorough interviewing process I have experienced to date.
Interview questions [1]

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Justworks (New York, NY) in Jul 2019
Interview
The process was very clear and quick. Initial phone screening set up a week after sending my resume. This was followed by an onsite which consisted of 4 individual interviews for a total of 2-2.5 hrs. It was clear from the type of questions they were asking that the company puts a lot of effort into hiring good talent and genuinely wanted to see you succeed in an environment that is right for you. I walked away feeling like they did a very thorough job of checking my qualifications while also asking me about what I was looking for in a new company as an employee. They were also very prompt with all forms of communications. Overall, great experience!

Question 1
Tell me about a time you set up a goal and didn't meet it? How did you react?

Interview
Received an email to schedule a phone interview. I picked a time and when the day came the individual called me 30 minutes late! He asked about my work and experience and stated it sounds like I would be good in another department. He then informed me that he would forward my resume and I would hear from them the following week. Never happened! I sent an email and no response! Unprofessional!

Interview
The interview process as Justworks was pretty simple. I had applied online via their website and got a response from a recruiter who scheduled my phone interview. I spoke with a sales development manager and it was a very pleasant conversation and went well. I was then invited to come into the office for the onsite interview where I met with the SDR Trainer, and 2 SDR Managers to go over my work experience and why I wanted to work at Justworks. It was a pleasant experience meeting everyone and going into the office and then things got bad.
A week and a half go by and I don't hear back from the HR recruiter at all. I know that HR cannot reach out to every applicant for the role but they should have the decency to update candidates that they bring in for on site interviews in a timely manner. Only after I took the initiative to reach out to the recruiter about my status was I informed that they were not moving forwards with my candidacy. I'm fine with rejection but it is a common courtesy to keep applicants who have taken the time and effort to come into the office in the loop. I found this to be very unprofessional.
