About The Position

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. The Early Career & Emerging Talent (ECET) team focuses specifically on interns and apprentices across every global region, supporting all Airbnb teams interested in engaging junior talent. This role is a hybrid position, with approximately 70% of time dedicated to full-cycle recruiting and 30% to intern and apprentice program support. The recruiting aspect involves owning intern and apprentice roles across technical and non-technical functions, including Engineering, Data Science, Finance, Communications, Public Policy, and Legal, for undergraduate and graduate-level students. It also includes supporting international programs. The program support aspect involves being a key participant-facing contact for US-based intern and apprentice cohorts, assisting them through pre-onboarding, program participation, and conversion.

Requirements

6+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience in university recruiting or early career talent.
Experience recruiting across both technical (engineering, data science) and non-technical functions, including graduate-level.
Experience working across multiple regions (APAC, EMEA, LATAM) in partnership with regional team members.
Prior experience supporting internship or apprenticeship programs beyond recruiting — including onboarding logistics, participant communications, or program coordination.
Comfortable in a hybrid role that moves between recruiting and program management.
Willingness and ability to travel several times throughout the year for in-person programming, campus events, and conferences.
Experience partnering with hiring managers, interviewers, and cross-functional stakeholders throughout the hiring process.
Strong ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously — multiple reqs, multiple programs, multiple regions.
Patient, communicative, and relationship-oriented — able to build trust with candidates, interns, hiring managers, and program partners.
Detail-oriented and highly organized, with strong ATS hygiene and data management habits.
Experience using data to track and evaluate recruiting success over time.
Exceptional interpersonal and organizational skills; comfortable facilitating group conversations with participants and managers.
Use (or are excited to learn) AI tools and agents to automate the repetitive and free up time for higher-impact work.
Passionate about the early career space and the Airbnb brand.
