Airbnb’s CEO Brian Chesky doesn’t think hiring is just HR’s job. Despite being very busy running the $98 billion rental company and managing over 8,200 employees, he sets hours aside daily to recruiting. And if his managers don’t want him that involved in their hiring decisions, his advice is blunt: leave.
“I probably spend three hours a day recruiting,” Chesky recently told Time. It sounds like a lot of time for a handful of top hires. But that’s because he no longer just approves Airbnb’s executive roles. Now, he wants to be involved with who his executives hire, too.
