I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Yelp (Dublin, Dublin) in May 2014
Interview
Applied online after a friend recommended me. First phone interview was pretty straightforward and easy. I was asked to try out a scenario where I'm cold calling someone to talk about Yelp premium. The person interviewing me coached me through every step and was very encouraging. Just needed to sound excited, competitive, and personable.
Then comes the second interview, done via Skype because this position was in Ireland. Interviewed with three people during which I was asked various questions about my background, why I'm interested in Yelp to do some more sales scenarios.
There is an initial screening call followed by another virtual interview where they just try to get to know you. The first call asked about eligibility to work in the US and logistical questions/info about the company. One of the interviews involves a sales pitch role play but wasn't too difficult.
The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yelp (Chicago, IL) in Feb 2018
Interview
Met onsite at a college recruiting fair, was directed to the online application (no special link for those who met onsite). Afterwards there was an initial interview and a follow up interview. Initial interview was by phone and the second interview was on a video skype call.
