I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp (Phoenix, AZ) in June 2014
Interview
I applied online and was contacted the next day to have a phone interview. The HR rep emailed me about 5 links of videos and articles on Yelp that I needed to watch/ read before the interview.
The phone interview lated 7 minutes and was basically just to see if I looked at the info I was sent. The interviewer only ask me 1 question about myself- if i was currently employed. I kept the articles they sent me open during the interview and basically just repeated the info back to them. Easiest interview ever. She asked me to do a Skype call at the end.
In the Skype call I was asked a few questions about myself and had to do 2 role plays. During the role plays they expected me to do them perfectly and criticized me after because I didn't ask the right questions. Isn't that what training is for??? I believe Yelp is only looking for people they don't have to train at all or train very little. The turnover seems ridiculously high.
After that I was emailed that I didn't get the job- not a big surprise.
Easy. Just read job description and discuss with confidence what you will bring to improve the job and how much you are willing to learn to fill any gap in your resume.

I just had a quick screening call, and it was really focused on sales, more than on customer service. Cold calling is a big part of the role, and commissions don’t start until about 6 months in.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Yelp
Interview
the interview was a thorough process and detailed. the recruiter went through the entire job role in detail. She warned me that this role was mainly dealing with upset customers and that I was expected to keep them as members of yelp business when they had concerns about the program and wanted to opt out.
