Building an Innovative and Multi-Faceted Approach to University Recruiting

Paylocity's Early Talent Team has had to be creative in this virtual environment and changing job landscape to recruit early talent. The team has utilized the young alumni at Paylocity to speak on "Ask Me Anything" panels for students, participate in the interview process, and serve as mentors for candidates during the interview process and after they have been hired. The team has conducted skill building workshops, tech presentations through ColorStack, and information sessions to select student organizations. It is important to the team to make the process quick and effective and take into account the student experience including their timelines and goals.

Crafting a Standout Candidate Experience

At Paylocity, people have always been at the heart of the business. The company is more than a cutting-edge HR and payroll tech company - they're people. The Early Career Talent Team at Paylocity echoes this sentiment and strives to give each student job seeker a positive candidate experience. They believe in building relationships with candidates and sustaining those relationships. From prepping candidates for their assessments during the application process, prepping hiring managers to provide a good interview environment, to sending welcome emails and gifts - the team provides touchpoints throughout the process to make sure they know that the team values their time and who they are.

Moving the Needle on Diversity & Inclusion

Paylocity strives to create an organizational culture where every employee has a voice, feels truly welcome, appreciated, and free to be themselves, and is empowered and enabled to do their best work. A strong commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion is critical to creating such a culture. Transparency is an important part of Paylocity’s DE&I journey. This extends to transparency around wages, the company is committed to openly sharing position salary ranges and total compensation philosophies with their employees. Paylocity focuses on hiring for a diverse slate of schools, partners with diverse student organizations, and utilizes technology to reach underrepresented groups (like RippleMatch!)

Investing in Impactful Internship Programs

Paylocity's internship program is designed to create hands-on learning while giving a realistic preview of post-graduate life at PCTY. It encompasses a holistic approach by allowing interns to work on real business projects/problems to make an immediate impact and have a hand in shaping the future of the company. Interns are exposed to top leadership within their departments as well as Senior Leadership including the CEO as well as ongoing professional development presentations like financial wellness and conversations surrounding mental health. All of this plus weekly cohort activities has allowed Paylocity's program to stand out which contributes to a 90% return offer acceptance rate.

Supporting the Growth and Development of Entry-Level Talent

As a tech company focused on Modern Workforce Management, Paylocity allows new college grads a unique opportunity to work on a product that effects both clients and themselves. Culture is at the core of everything Paylocity does - from transparency at all levels, including internal pay transparency and external facing diversity & inclusion dashboards, to prioritizing recognition and team events like virtual dance parties, talent showcases, and family/pet friendly activities. Paylocity’s high growth and people-investment translates to faster career growth.
