We ask candidates to be careful of fraudulent job postings or suspicious recruiting activity during their job search, especially if they’re contacted through unofficial channels (such as Instagram, Telegram, MS Teams, etc.). In general, Turo interacts with candidates through our Careers page and via turo.com email addresses, and we don’t ask candidates for sensitive financial or personal info or request money as part of the hiring process (so an application fee or equipment costs). If candidates are not sure whether they’re dealing with an impersonator, they can contact Turo’s Recruiting Team at . Candidates can also report suspicious activity to the FTC or other appropriate authorities.\nTuro AI Policy:\nTuro may use AI-enabled tools to support our recruiting operations, including gathering information from candidates, drafting communications, helping with interview note-taking and assessment, and so on. These tools only supplement our team; all decisions to advance or hire candidates are made by Turo employees. While we welcome candidates to use AI-enabled tools to help prepare for their interviews, the use of such tools, including any AI chatbots or note-takers, is not permitted during live interviews or technical assessments. We want to see how you consider and solve problems in real-time, so interviews and assessments are all you (unless we indicate otherwise and ask you specifically to use an AI-enabled tool to answer a question). If during the application process you require the use of an AI-enabled tool as a reasonable accommodation for a disability, please let us know at .\nBenefits\nCompetitive salary, equity, benefits, and perks for all full-time employees\n\nEmployer-paid medical, dental, and vision insurance (Country specific)\n\nRetirement employer match\n\nLearning & Development stipend to invest in your professional development\n\nTuro host matching program\n\nTuro travel credit\n\nCell phone and internet stipend\n\nPaid time off to relax and recharge\n\nPaid holidays, volunteer time off, and parental leave\n\nFor those who are in the office full-time or hybrid we have in-office lunch, office snacks, and fun activities\n\nWe are committed to building a diverse team.
