Yieldify Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 2+ months. I interviewed at Yieldify (New York, NY (US)).

Interview

It went well at the beginning, the people at the company used to call me almost every day to confirm their interest. They wanted me to complete a test which I did and they were quite impressed. After I completed the test, they've lost their interest even why they were not saying that on emails. After two months they don't even respond to your emails.

I would not recommend anyone to mess with Yieldify to be honest.

Application

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Yieldify (New York, NY (US)) in February 2019.

Interview

(Some background on this: I had applied for this same position about six months ago when my employer was bought out and I was preparing to find a new job. The company in question ended up hiring me at the last minute, so I withdrew my candidacy. I was at the last stage of the interview process, which was preparing to give a presentation in the New York office.)

I saw that CSM position had become available again in late January, so I applied again. The hiring coordinator for Yieldify's London office contacted me to set up a phone screen, which was conducted by another employee. The phone screen went well and we were able to discuss some of the changes that had taken place since we had last connected six months ago. It was a productive conversation and I was advanced to the next round.

For the in-person interview, I met with the Director of Client Services, NA as well as a strategist. The interview lasted about an hour and both of the employees I met with were courteous and personable. As I was preparing to leave, I asked about next steps and the director mentioned that she would contact the coordinator to have me in the office the next week for the final round of the interview process: a presentation. This was on Friday.

The following Monday I received an email from the Director of Client Services, explaining that they were NOT going to be moving me further in the interview process. They were looking for someone with a quote, strong desire and background in leading and challenging the team to work harder and smarter. End quote.

I suppose that explanation could be interpreted in a number of ways but I'm assuming it meant that I lacked both the ambition and the drive this person was looking for. Fair enough. This would have been useful to know in a post-interview email the DAY OF rather than leaving the candidate with the knowledge that they would be coming in again next week to make a presentation.

tl;dr: I went from being told verbally by the hiring manager to expect an email from a coordinator regarding scheduling for a final presentation...to a rejection letter. I would have appreciated more transparency as to why this sudden change of heart occurred.

Alas, I will simply have to make due with team's best wishes in my career search.

Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yieldify (New York, NY (US)) in March 2018.

Interview

I saw the role on Indeed and thought this could be a good place for me to venture back into the startup world. I submitted my resume and a few days later, I heard from an HR team member who wanted to set up time with a team member from talent acquisition. We agreed to a day and time for a phone interview and it's set.
On the day of the interview, 5 minutes have gone by and I've yet to hear from anyone. I reach out to the HR contact who emailed me first, but no response. At about 8 minutes after the hour, I get the call from the talent acquisition person. She doesn't really apologize for the delay - just mentions how all her calls went over, blah blah blah. That was the first step at unprofessionalism I noticed.
We go into the interview and discuss the role, my background, and why I'm interested in leaving my current company and joining Yieldify. I give a pretty strong answer on my desire to move to a faster paced environment, focus on B2C, and make an impact with a smaller company. This didn't seem to resonate with her as she was hung up on why I wanted to leave. Then she goes on to ask if I applied to other groups within my company. Not sure how that was relevant as I'm applying to a job with YOUR company. I don't need advice on my career transitions. Anyways, it was an awkward interview for the most part as she has no idea what I did, what my company did (it's a Fortune 100), and I think she had about 2 years of experience, total. She mentioned how the CEO was in NYC quite often and she felt it would be good to meet him, or the hiring manager who was based in Europe. I was still interested to move forward and waited for next steps. A week goes by, then the Easter holiday, which I know is a few days in Europe. A week after, I email the the talent acquisition person to press on next steps as she had previously indicated I should meet with someone. No response! The unprofessionalism continues! So, now I've been ghosted with no update in my status.
This is the problem with these young Europeans startups that are run by kids and they want to enter the US market. They see dollar signs, want to up their valuations, but have no talent acquisition mindfulness whatsoever. We are professionals, treat us as such. Good luck finding real talent. Also, please spare the canned response to this review.

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Yieldify (London, England) in September 2016.

Interview

The team at Yieldify is awesome. I applied online and had an initial Skype afterwards. Things went well and I progressed to having another interview with team members online (I wasn't living in London) and taking a skills test. I was invited to an on-site interview where I got the chance to talk to multiple people and get a feel of what they needed and how their culture looked. The interview went smoothly and everybody was kind and enthusiastic.The team's communication with me was beyond immaculate, I was constantly kept up to date with the status of my application and all my questions were fully answered, during the interview and after. They really know how to make you feel welcomed :)

Application

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Yieldify (London, England) in December 2013.

Interview

Relatively quick and painless. The focus was on me demonstrating my knowledge and experience of online marketing, showing that I had the drive and ambition that a young start up needs and finally, making sure that I would be the right cultural fit.

In the space of one hour I met with 5 members of the company, from different teams, including the CEO.

This was in 2013, and the process has become much more formalised. However, the aim is the same, find people who have something valuable to contribute to the company.
