I applied online. I interviewed at Airbnb (Florida Ridge, FL) in Jan 2020
Interview
There isn't an interview. Anyone can be a host. I had a fun time being a host but had to change because it was illegal where I lives so make sure that you check your local ordinances
There wasn't really a process, just uploaded my space waited for approval and boom I was in the door. I will say there needs to be policies in place where the customer is held accountable.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Airbnb (San Francisco, CA) in Mar 2015
Interview
Setting up a listing was very easy, and they have account managers that follow up with you. The permit process to be legal in San Francisco is very cumbersome, and needs additional work.
