The Anatomy of a Yodle Employee

We take hiring seriously at Yodle. Two years ago we had 250 employees, and today we have 700+.  So far in 2011, we have interviewed 2000+ candidates and we hire 1-2 people every business day! 

Sure, our products are best in class, but that’s because of the people behind them.  If you were to meet our employees, you’d most likely agree that there’s just “something” that they’ve all got. But it’s a lot of things that come together to make up the anatomy of a Yodle employee.

What is it about the people who make it through the interview process that sets them apart? 

Passion: Passion is important at Yodle. We are all passionate about helping small businesses grow and the work we get to do every day. And we show our passion by having lots of energy.

Drive:  Meeting expectations isn’t enough; we want to crush them. We’re driven to exceed goals, to rapidly develop our careers. We want it all and we’re not afraid to work for it.

Confidence: We believe in what we can bring to our clients and our company. We’re also confident enough to admit when we’re wrong and learn from our mistakes. Employees at Yodle aren’t afraid of taking risks because there will be a learning opportunity. We hire people who are not afraid to speak up, voice their opinions, and stand behind those opinions when they have the data to support it.

Hunger: We’re hungry at Yodle, and not just for the yummy snacks we keep stocked in our kitchens. All of us here have an innate urge to be successful, and that drives us to take action without waiting for direction. A true member of the Yodle team goes above and beyond without being asked.  

Entrepreneurial Spirit: We want to be part of something bigger than ourselves; it’s what drew us to work for one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S. We want to be a part of an organization that changes online marketing as we know it. We’re okay with ambiguity because we can figure things out on our own.   We’ll dig and keep digging until we find the right answers.  In fact, we embrace challenges and strongly believe that nothing is impossible.

Diverse:  A typical Yodle employee has a lot of interests. In our spare time, we’re artists, performers, avid runners, hikers, ping pong experts, and pop culture enthusiasts, to name a few. At Yodle, we’re creative and curious by nature, and no one works in a silo—we like to know what our fellow team members are up to.

Positive Attitude:  The Yodle “can do” spirit is palpable from the moment you walk through our doors.   We act with our customers in mind; continually asking for feedback as a means for improvement.  As “glass half full” kind of people, we’re able to inspire each other to succeed.  We communicate openly and don’t skimp on encouragement, even when faced with obstacles. Employees at Yodle aren’t afraid to help each other out even if it’s “not their job”.  And we love the fact that when we come in each day and say “good morning,” we most certainly mean it.
