INTRODUCTION
ADP is hiring Implementation Specialists for client onboarding. This is a hybrid position working 3 days in the office and 2 days at home each week.
- Are you looking to grow your career in an agile, dynamic environment with plenty of opportunities to progress?
- Do you want to continuously learn through ongoing training, development, and mentorship opportunities?
- Are you looking to be yourself in a culture that values equity, inclusion, and belonging and creates a safe space for diverse perspectives and insights?
If so, this may be an opportunity for you. Read on and decide for yourself.
As a Client Onboarding Specialist, you will provide the first interaction between small business clients and ADP's industry-leading payroll and HR solutions after sale. Building strong relationships with clients and seamlessly implementing ADP's technologies, you will ensure your clients are set up for long-term success with ADP. Even more, you'll make an immediate impact once ADP's services are delivered on the day-to-day lives of your clients' employees - from paychecks to health benefits and beyond.
You will spend most of your day answering calls from the queue and following up on open items to ensure your clients' needs are met and that they are comfortable using our products and services. Still, every day will be different because you will meet new clients daily, within different geographies and industries, and the solutions you provide each client will differ based on their unique needs. This will keep things interesting, and our top-ranked training will help to set you up for success!
To thrive in this role, you must be comfortable working in a metrics-driven call center environment as part of a structured day. You have a way with clients that builds rapport, establishes trust, and shines with professionalism. Over the phone and in writing, your communication style is clear and easy for our clients to understand and take action on. As a result, your client satisfaction scores make you proud. Pace should not scare you. We also have a healthy dose of fun. Not only can you find a career here but friendships that last in a company that values inclusion.
WHAT YOU'LL DO: Responsibilities
What you can expect on a typical day:
- Onboard Clients. You'll create exceptional onboarding experiences for each product or service implementation. Through your expertise and relationship-building, you'll help clients develop the skills and confidence to use our products with ease.
- Implement ADP Technologies. You will analyze existing systems, interface requirements, and business processes. You will incorporate new processes, tools, and approaches when recommending and implementing the ADP solution.
- Partner Internally. You will interact/collaborate with ADP associates in sales and customer service. You will exchange routine information with members of the client project team, including priorities, timeliness, and issues as they arise.
- Multi-Task & Communicate. You will work on multiple time-sensitive follow-ups/projects at the same time. You will share essential information with clients and internal teams.
- You adhere to a daily schedule and organize yourself to deal with a high volume of inbound calls. Daily phone time may increase during peak seasons, like at the close of the year.
TO SUCCEED IN THIS ROLE: Required Qualifications
- Prior experience is not required; we will train you to be successful!
- You can work overtime hours during peak seasons
- Bilingual in English and Spanish is a plus!
YOU'LL ALSO LOVE WORKING HERE BECAUSE YOU CAN:
- Belong by joining one of nine Business Resource Groups to connect globally with networks and allies who share common interests and experiences.
- Be your healthiest. Best-in-class benefits start on Day 1 because healthy associates are happy ones.
- Focus on your mental health and well-being. We're here to provide exceptional service to our clients, and none of that happens without each of us taking care of ourselves and being there for one another.
- Join a company committed to giving back and generating a lasting, positive impact upon the communities in which we work and live.
- Get paid to pay it forward. Company-paid time off for volunteering for causes you care about.

Implementation Specialist Jobs in Illinois: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a implementation specialist in Illinois?
Most Illinois employers expect a bachelor's degree in information systems, computer science, business, or a closely related field as the foundation. No state-issued license is required for implementation specialists in Illinois, but platform certifications from vendors such as Salesforce, SAP, or Epic carry significant weight with Chicago-area technology and healthcare employers. Building hands-on experience through internships at Illinois technology firms or healthcare systems, then moving into a junior implementation or technical support role, is the most common path.
Which companies hire implementation specialists in Illinois?
Employers hiring implementation specialists in Illinois right now include ADP, Arcadis, and Paylocity, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026. Illinois's concentration of financial services firms, major health systems, and logistics companies means demand for implementation talent runs across several distinct verticals rather than clustering in a single industry.
Which Illinois cities have the most implementation specialist jobs?
Schaumburg, Chicago, and Rosemont account for the most implementation specialist openings in Illinois. Chicago dominates because of its headquarters density in financial technology, enterprise software, and healthcare IT, while Naperville and Schaumburg attract openings tied to the large technology campuses and regional offices that line the Interstate 88 corridor west of the city.
Are there remote implementation specialist jobs in Illinois?
Yes, and more than many technical roles, because much of the work involves software configuration, user training, and documentation that can run over video and shared environments. About 63% of implementation specialist openings tied to Illinois are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting genuine flexibility from employers. The phases most likely to remain on-site are go-live support and initial client onboarding at larger enterprise accounts.
How can I get hired as a implementation specialist in Illinois with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is landing a technical support, help-desk, or business analyst associate role at an Illinois software firm or health system and moving into implementation once you understand the product. Companies such as Outcome Health, Inovalon, and mid-size Chicago-area Salesforce partners routinely hire associate implementation coordinators for candidates with strong communication skills and any platform exposure. Earning a vendor certification in Salesforce Administrator or a healthcare IT credential like CPHIMS while applying gives entry-level candidates a concrete edge.
Where can I find and apply to implementation specialist jobs in Illinois?
You can find and apply to implementation specialist jobs in Illinois on Migrate Mate, which lists current Illinois openings across industries and experience levels. Search the listings, find roles that match your background and preferred location, and apply directly to the ones that fit.
