Airbnb carries a Seen Grade of 62/100, with an average wait of about 35 days to hear back and a 42% ghost rate. Here's what applicants report.
Airbnb has a reputation for slow communication and ghosting after interviews, particularly in the team matching phase. While initial recruiter outreach is fast, candidates report weeks of silence after passing interview rounds. The process emphasizes cultural fit through dedicated Core Values rounds, which is a significant differentiator from competitors. Reported average time to first response is about 35 days. Applicants report roughly 5 interview round(s).
