I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Paychex in Jan 2024
Interview
The recruiter was quick to respond after applying. The initial phone screening was a standard discussion about experiences, qualifications, and the positions. The recruiter appeared very uncertain on which team or department or if the position was even still available. Also, they seemed very focused on my salary expectations, then went on to express they're targeting the low end of their salary range on the job posting. Unelicited, the recruiter said that I would be moving forward in the interview process and to expect to hear from the hiring manager within 24 hours. Which wasn't true, at all. Never heard from anyone and the recruiter ignored every request for an update for a week. After that, I decided to withdraw my application. I rated it difficult just because how unprofessional the recruiter was during the process.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME WITH THIS COMPANY !!! What a terrible interview process, was reached out by HR person on Linkden to interview. I said sure why not. She set me up with an interview with the hiring manager, it was totally unprofessional.
Mid way in the interview he said that he misread my resume and no longer wanted to continue the interview. Highly unethical and unprofessional interviewer. Honestly I have had better experiences when apply for waiter/sales jobs at random companies when I was a student.
