What do you know about the history of ADP?
ADP has evolved as its client's needs have changed over the years. While many people associate their brand with payroll, they offer so much more than that. If you're serious about getting a job offer, you should! Interviewers ask questions like these to ensure your motivation to join the company is authentic and that you've put in sufficient time and effort beforehand to get to know the company holistically.
"I know the company began in 1949 as a payroll processing company. Over the years, service offerings have expanded to HR-related functions like benefits administration, ATS systems, and tax support. I'm impressed at how much the company has grown over the years, and it's amazing that you now have about 58,000 employees worldwide!"
Above all, be sure to do your research before the interview so that you are up to date with the latest products and services offered by ADP.
Some areas to highlight could be recent press releases, awards, and reputation among employees. For example, you can talk about what makes their software stand out from the competition. If you're not sure about how they compare, find out! Search websites like Indeed and Glassdoor to dig up what you can. Wow them with your interest in the company by talking about how you watched the videos on their site about company culture. Share how impressed you were!
"I am well-versed in ADP's comprehensive set of offerings as one of the largest providers of cloud-based human capital management. I am drawn to your people-focused company culture that is 'Always Designing for People.' This is evident in the fact that you have been named to FORTUNE magazine's, 'World's Most Admired Companies' for 15 years straight."
"I have researched your company a significant amount. Some things that stand out to me are the fact that you ranked #17 on the Top 50 Companies for Diversity. This is impressive, but what is even more impressive is that this is ADP's 8th consecutive year on the list! I also think it is cool that you have scholarship programs for students who show excellence in sales and leadership."
