Senior Recruiter, Early Career & Emerging Talent

Airbnb was born in 2007 when two hosts welcomed three guests to their San Francisco home, and has since grown to over 5 million hosts who have welcomed over 2 billion guest arrivals in almost every country across the globe. Every day, hosts offer unique stays and experiences that make it possible for guests to connect with communities in a more authentic way. The Community You Will Join Airbnb Core Recruiting supports all of Airbnb's businesses, platform, and function teams by attracting and connecting the most talented, diverse, and values-aligned people around the world. We apply talent acquisition strategy and programs, business partnerships, and operational excellence to align our work with Airbnb's evolving talent needs. As culture carriers and ambassadors, we foster belonging and host every candidate with authentic hospitality. The Early Career & Emerging Talent (ECET) team sits at the center of this work, focused specifically on interns and apprentices across every global region. We support all Airbnb teams interested in engaging junior talent as a way to fuel impactful projects and build a pipeline for future roles — touching every aspect of the experience, from university and community partnerships to hiring manager advising, onboarding, and program design. The Difference You'll Make This is a hybrid role with an intentional split: approximately 70% of your time will be dedicated to full-cycle recruiting, and 30% to intern and apprentice program support. On the recruiting side, you will own intern and apprentice roles across both technical and non-technical functions — including Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Communications, Public Policy, and Legal. The roles are a mix of undergraduate and graduate-level (MBA, JD, PhD) students. You'll also support international programs as needed, working alongside team members in Asia, Europe, and Latin America. On the program support side, you'll serve as a key participant-facing touchpoint for US-based intern and apprentice cohorts. Because you built the relationship during recruiting, you're well-positioned to support participants through pre-onboarding, program participation, and conversion. This continuity is intentional — it makes for a stronger experience for interns and apprentices, and a more connected one for hiring managers.
