Job description

Airbnb is hiring a Senior Recruiter to turn operational data into decisions that move the business forward. Plainly put, Airbnb wants 5 years of SPHR Certification, will pay $94,000 - $147,000, and expects you to own the result.

Key Responsibilities

• Find the customer segment Airbnb keeps overlooking and size the prize
• Keep the freelance partnership honest with numbers both sides accept
• Conduct competitive research and synthesize insights for executive decisions
• Carve a deeply-bought-in workflow down until it runs without your hands on it
• Liaise with legal and compliance to keep business practices sound

What You'll Bring

• 7 years of learning when to trust the process and when to break it
• Resilience measured across 7 years of business cycles
• The humility to revise strong opinions when the data argues back
• Comfortable presenting ideas to stakeholders at every level
• Familiarity with the rhythms of a ruthlessly-focused freelance team
• Working knowledge of Diversity and Inclusion alongside transferable SPHR Certification chops
• Comfort with the freelance cadence of a Paterson-based operation

Our Airbnb offer leans on substance: $94,000 - $147,000, mentorship, benefits, and a flexible schedule that respects Paterson life.
