#2A good recruiting experience in my opinion indicates a well run business at many levels. It's a key differentiator, especially for lower level staff. Much akin to how someone treats wait staff, how recruiters and employees treat potential employees shows a lot about their character and organization. I'm somewhat suprised the simple requirements AirBnB uses (such as providing feedback promptly) are not more widespread.

#3Reading the article it seems like Airbnb took the strategy many companies choose not to take. I call the strategy, "Don't be a dick."

#4I remember applying to work AirBnB back in 2009 or 2010. I still recall today the curt response sent back to be:
"We don't accept applicants without a college degree."
Needless to say, I'm sure the policy has been amended; we work in a very different world now.

#6They also take a very data driven approach to hiring by leveraging applicant tracking systems like Greenhouse and testing platforms like HackerRank. This helps to surface top candidates and keep the operation smooth and tight.

Same. None of my interviewers read my resume (or my github)and bemoaned the fact that my degree was not from an IVY league university, right to my face.
