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 @<a href="http://airbnb.com">airbnb.com</a> or @<a href="http://ext.airbnb.com">ext.airbnb.com</a> email addresses. Our recruiters will never ask for your Social Security number, bank account details, passport, or payment app information while you are interviewing.&nbsp; 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.</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p></div>
