I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Yelp (New York, NY) in May 2022
Interview
The recruiter held a screening call that quickly turned into an interview., and provided little to no information about the role itself. While I understand the approach of using a screening call to understand a candidates qualifications, you also owe the candidate basic information about the role.
Advice: Do not use recruiters who don’t work in technology to translate problem solving frameworks to hiring managers. You’ll have more success by using the screening call as a simple “get to know the role and candidate” conversation.
I was refered, and the initial step was a call with recruiter who asked about my experience and why Yelp. Then scheduled an interview with a hiring manager. where they shared a case and we worked on the case together.

I applied online. I interviewed at Yelp in Aug 2023
Interview
Had a screening call, everything went great, she said she would be moving me onto the next round and follow up with those details in a few days. A week went by with no update so I politely followed up. No response. Another week went by and I followed up one last time. No response. I took this as "I didn't get selected for the next round of interviews" and moved on. About a month later I saw another position that I aligned with open up. I filled out the application and upon landing in their careers portal I saw a status of "No Show" for the previous position. I then followed up with the recruiter again to see if she could shed some light on that. Two weeks later, here I am with yet again no response.

Question 1
This was great, after knowing all this information I think you'd be a great candidate and want to move you forward through the process. Does this position still sound appealing to you and would you like to move forward?
The phone interviewer is a principle PM from the hiring team. There are 3 parts of the interview: introduce yourself, previous experience, and a product sense question. The first 2 parts were pretty standard, the last part was based on a current product from Yelp.
