You need to hire Jenny Ersbak. She's done three interviews with you so far and I can only say praises about her (and I'm her boss). Email me if you'd like a reference.

#32Any idea how much funding these guys got? They seem to be doing well.
They were interviewed by Mixergy and Jessica Livingston recently and there's a LOT of great stuff in those interviews: http://mixergy.com/airbnb-chesky-gebbia/ http://ycombinator.posterous.com/airbnb-and-weebly-interview...
Holy cow, they're good storytellers and it is packed with useful detail.

#33irony: If others have ever noted that you're borderline perfectionistic, this is the job for you! (on the customer service job posting)
Customer Service posting: "Must be a college graduate." Hmm. A lot of engineers I know wouldn't qualify for customer service at AirBnB.
Most "rules" in life are suggestions of varying strengths. Screening for "college graduate" is just a way of asking for a baseline level of education and polish. If you can demonstrate that in another way, you'll be totally fine -- it may take more effort to prove this without a diploma, but it's totally possible.
The CTO of EMC is an IBM Fellow... and has a B.S. in Finance from Marist College.

#34I'd like to know how they chose the quantity for each slot--how did they know "we need X this, Y that, and Z these"? Is there a template for this somewhere? :-) Obviously not--but what was the process like?

#35Fun job, looks technically interesting, great benefits, growing fast (used to have 8 openings, now 20), I wish I was done with college so I could apply. Looks like a no brainer.
