The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Yelp (San Francisco, CA) in May 2009
Interview
Initial phone-screen to see if you're excited about working at Yelp, they pride themselves on hiring young, "fresh", social media savvy 20-somethings. Then brought to onsite interview in offices. Rotated through 3 sales managers, each with different interview styles, and given different scenarios and asked what I would do? Overall, its pretty straightforward...if you're likable, sociable, personable, and love Yelp, I mean absolutely LOVE Yelp, then you'll get hired assuming you're interview is in the right hands.
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Yelp (Austin, TX) in May 2026
Interview
The interview process was pleasant from start to finish. It included a recruiter phone screen, a video call with the sales manager, a role play exercise, and the opportunity to implement the manager’s feedback.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
One question they asked during my interview was what specifically about the role made me feel it was a strong fit for my background and experience.
The interview process with Yelp was a very organized experience. From the first email after I put in my application, to the offer extension call, I always felt well informed and included.
It was a one time interview over video call with a pre call before. One on one with a training manager. Pretty simple not too hard at all. Lasted 30 minutes with questions and role plays.
