i have been interviewing with Airbnb and recruiter is kind of weird. He has been doing fine with reference to arranging the interviews, but doesnt disclose much about the team or the manager. I have asked multiple times. For the interviews, I have to push to arrange those. Recently, he accidently emailed that there was one more candidate for the same role. Now, I am kind of annoyed that he should have pushed me earlier if he thinks the profile matches. Also, what would happen if even after aceing the interviews, they fill up the other candidate. Does Airbnb offer other roles if that spot gets filled? Has anyone had any experience in the past?
Any recruiter is going to be talking to multiple candidates. It sounds like they’re recruiting you for a generalist role maybe?
Similar experience but in my case there was no longer a fit after they filled the role
It’s not nice. But engineers also go to companies with multiple offers and drop companies for better offers. Hiring is also a two way street.
Usually recruiters are pretty welcoming and nice. Even if they interview multiple candidates they plan it properly. I guess the recruiter needs a behavioral interview
When unresponsive first do CPR and call 911
Horrible experience working with AirBnb recruiters. I highly don’t recommend.
Yeah the recruiter is kind of weird. The engineers seem to be kind of fine
They will play hard to get so that you don’t think you are something. An attempt to pay you less.
Any word yet OP?
I received an offer, but didn’t join since the work was not interesting. However, they are open if a new role pops up in the future
Yup. I have a similar experience.
What was the outcome?
Cleared all rounds but ended up selecting another company. My bad experience with the recruiter is one of factors for the decision.
