I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at YAI - Seeing beyond disability (Brooklyn, NY) in May 2012
Interview
Applied online. Received a call to come into YAI Headquarters in Manhattan. Received an email a day before, with an application to be filled prior hand. Came into a group interview with other people, some with BA and AA degrees, some with non. Interviewer was very friendly, and she asked us behavioral based questions and our opinions on person with disabilities. She then told us that she will refer us to a Supervisor for position in which she thought we qualified for; that is if she referred us at all. The interviewer steered us to the correct answers and they are basically looking for candidates that will treat their adult population with dignity/respect.
Although I applied to Direct Service Provider, i was referred to a slightly more competitive position. A few days I was called in by a supervisor at one of their day facilities.It was a more detailed interview about my life and opinions of the DD/MR population.Told about the salary and more. After the interview i was invited to a day visit to see how things are conducted on daily basis. There people there have a very good spirit and the population is a lot more friendly and intelligent than you think. After the visit i was called in the office by the supervisor and was given the dreaded "we'll get back to you" after we are done interviewing. Still hoping and praying, for a offer, but I hope i can get at least a non select letter due to the amount of time put in the interview process.

Interview
Went in for a interview, turns out to be a group interview with five other people. The interview process was fast but the hiring process was slow. Took almost 2 months to hear back from them, just when I was going to give up and look elsewhere they called me back.

I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at YAI - Seeing beyond disability (New York, NY) in Mar 2016
Interview
Went for a group interview in Queens. The lady scheduled an in-person interview with each of us for the following week at a YAI location. Went to that interview, spent the day shadowing another Community Training Specialist, communicated with the individuals who have disabilities and learning more about YAI. Then in the end, the lady who interviewed me asked me how my day was and what I liked about it. She then indicated that they are still interviewing others and she would get back to me in 1.5-2 weeks. I sent her a thank you note. I did not have her email address so I sent it through postal mail. I did not receive anything within 2 weeks so I called her again to follow-up. She said HR would call me. I waited a few days and HR never called me. Then I emailed an HR recruiter who was at the job fair representing YAI and who told me about the group interview. She never got back to me either. It's been four weeks. Obviously, I did not get the job. But the least they can do is let people know whether they got the job or not. I rather receive a solid rejection than no phone call or response at all. Other than that, it seems like a great place to work in.

I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at YAI - Seeing beyond disability (New York, NY) in Sep 2015
Interview
A group interview, then a brief one on one interview with a YAI recruiter. During interview you are asked questions in which all must answer individually. Questions are simple and catered to the general mission of the organization, which is to be mindful of their clients as individuals with rights. However, upon conclusion of the interview, was told that I would hear for a second interview within a week, and if not to alert the recruiter, but never heard back. When contacting twice, the recruiter never got back either. Good Luck to everyone else! The YAI appears to be a great place to work if you want to help others, doesn't hurt that they have great benefits too!
