Interviewed May 2012 in New York, NY (took 2 days)
I found out about the position through a recruiter. The recruiter forwarded my resume to Kaplan and later that day I received a call to come in for an interview. The interview was easy. They asked some generic questions. After the interview they gave me a Research test and gave me a sample call.

Interviewed Sep 2010 in Oxford, OH (took 2 days)
The interview consisted of an initial interview in which I had to teach a 5 minute "class" on a non-academic topic of my choice. The process was straightforward, and I ended up getting a callback for a one on one interview with the center manager. The second interview was also straightforward, and I ended up getting and accepting the position.

Round 1 - You are asked to prepare a short presentation where you teach a problem (from the test you want to tutor for) to a Kaplan interviewer and other interviewees. If you do a good enough job, you move on to round 2.
Round 2 - 1-on-1 interview over Skype. You are asked common interview questions such as "why do you want to be a tutor", and "what kind of teaching experience do you have?" If they like you, they'll extend an offer.

Interviewed Jan 2011 in Minneapolis, MN (took 1 week)
If your resume catches the eye of a recruiter then you may be asked to begin the hiring process with a preliminary audition. The audition takes place via webcam with several other applicants and a recruiter as your audience. The audition consists of explaining the process of properly analyzing a critical reasoning question in a efficient and effective manner. If the recruiter likes your audition, you will be offered a 1:1 interview with a manager who may give you the position before the interview concludes.
Interview Questions
Negotiation Details
Because of the large amount of applicants for the position of LSAT Instructor, there is not much leverage for negotiation. Other instructing positions such as GMAT Instructor offer higher leverage in negotiations because most eligible individuals take intership/fellowship positions while in MBA programs. Therefore, test prep organizations have a more difficult time finding these individuals to employ.
Other Details
The interview consisted of a Skills Test, a Presentation and a 1:1 Interview.

Interviewed Jan 2012 (took a day)
After online application, invited to a group interview with 7 others via Skype, asked to do a 5 minute lesson on one of 3 questions (math or English). Question was typical of SAT. Other panelists serve as audience. For math, prepare step by step directions; if any formulas/equations, type it out beforehand to copy to the blackboard during presentation; For English, prepare other examples of grammar/composition rule. Try teaching the lesson on Skype beforehand to observe yourself. Make sure the lighting is well. The interviewer was friendly. Don't try to just solve the problem, but try to help the students/audience solve it themselves.
