A Note on Recruiting Scams: Scammers
sometimes pose as Airbnb recruiters to
get money or personal information from
candidates. A few things that will
always be true for Airbnb’s hiring
process: our open roles are posted on
Airbnb’s Career’s Page at
careers.airbnb.com, and our recruiters
correspond only from @airbnb.com or
@ext.airbnb.com email addresses. Our
recruiters will never ask for your
Social Security number, bank account
details, passport, or payment app
information while you are
interviewing. We’ll also never
ask you to pay a fee, send money,
deposit or cash a check, or purchase
work-related equipment (such as a
company laptop) during the interview
process. We encourage candidates to
remain vigilant of these recruiting
scams and not share sensitive
information if you do not believe an
individual is actually affiliated with
Airbnb.
