Airbnb exists to build a world where anyone can belong anywhere and a big part of that means to build a workplace where every employees is treated fairly and feels like they can belong. At Airbnb, all future employees are not only interviewed based on their technical skills - they’re interviewed based on behavioral traits associated with the Core Values.
For two years I had the pleasure of running this interview program. This meant managing the work for a team of six volunteers who trained over 300 global interviewers, lead education sessions on the values, and connected with leaders on how values interviewing worked all to ensure that we continued to hire employees aligned with Airbnb’s mission and values.
