@J-Renato0 Good idea, but Airbnb insists that this is to counter discrimination. So they're going to allow non-IB hosts to have the opportunity to discriminate? We can't even get Airbnb to separate traditional hosts from giant property management companies in the search pages, do you really think they'll go for this? Not that we can't try.
I see the issue like this: It's like applying for a job. The applicant submits a resume, detailing their work history, level of education, past and current employers, references. Lets say this corresponds to a guest's profile information, their reviews and the message they send the host when booking or requesting to book.
The resumes which have the most and best qualified information stay on the top of the pile, the ones that don't are shuffled to the bottom. Perhaps an applicant, fresh out of school, has no work history in the field, but presents themselves well, and there is something about the resume that stands out in a positive way to the employer, maybe that they come across as highly articulate, keenly intelligent, and eager. So maybe that resume would stay near the top. This would be like a new guest with no reviews but an engagingly written profile who sends an informative and friendly booking request.
The resumes are short-listed and those applicants are asked to come in for a face-to-face interview. This would be the equivalent of further messaging with a guest and seeing their profile photo.
But the winning applicant is not hired before the in-person interview. (Just as we want to see a profile photo before accepting a booking).
