LakeThu, March 26, 2026 at 3:37 PM GMT+1 4 min readAt Duolingo, job interviews start the moment a candidate steps into a car.Luis von Ahn, the billionaire cofounder and CEO of the language-learning app, revealed on Phoebe Gates and Sophia Kianni’s The Burnouts podcast how a job candidate treats their driver from the airport to the office can make or break their chances of getting hired—regardless of how impressive their résumé looks or how much they like the candidate in the interview process.Entrepreneur von Ahn, who cofounded Duolingo in 2011 with Severin Hacker, recalled a time when the company had been seeking a chief financial officer “for like a year.” The candidate had a strong résumé, and the entire hiring committee “really liked” the applicant, he told The Burnouts in a February interview.But “it turned out that they were pretty mean to their driver from the airport to the office,” von Ahn said. “And that made us not hire them.”The CEO of Duolingo, which has a market cap of $4.65 billion, knew this because he pays taxi drivers to evaluate whether candidates are worth hiring.“Our belief is if they’re going to be mean to the driver, they’re probably going to be mean to other people, particularly people under them,” he said.It’s important to Duolingo to hire the right person because of how much the company and von Ahn have leaned into AI. Last April, von Ahn said he was getting rid of contract employees and replacing them with AI.“We can’t wait until the technology is 100% perfect,” von Ahn wrote in a memo posted to LinkedIn in April 2025. “We’d rather move with urgency and take occasional small hits on quality than move slowly and miss the moment.”While von Ahn’s taxi driver test is an unconventional one, candidates in today’s brutal job market are being evaluated in ways they may not even realize.His approach comes at a time when landing a job has never felt more grueling. Hiring in tech has slowed drastically, with job postings down an estimated 36% from pre-2020 levels, according to Indeed’s 2025 Tech Talent Report. Meanwhile, more than 40,000 people working in tech have been laid off so far this year, Layoffs.fyi data shows.Plus, interview processes have become much longer and more involved. Candidates routinely face five to eight interview rounds, panel presentations, case studies, and personality assessments before receiving an offer. The average time-to-hire in the U.S. is approximately 36 days from job posting to offer, according to research by Alex Benjamin, vice president of talent acquisition at OnPoint Consulting Services.Terms and Privacy PolicyPrivacy & Cookie SettingsMore InfoTrending tickersBTC-USD Bitcoin USD 66,034.47 -2,891.91 (-4.20%)ARTL Artelo Biosciences, Inc. 10.54 +7.35 (+230.41%)CRWD CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. 369.58 -23.04 (-5.87%)FIG Figma, Inc. 20.19 -1.96 (-8.85%)AGX Argan, Inc. 566.62 +155.77 (+37.91%)PortfolioSign in to access your portfolioSign inTop gainersAGX Argan, Inc. 566.62 +155.77 (+37.91%)U Unity Software Inc. 19.45 +2.32 (+13.54%)ADV Advantage Solutions Inc. 25.57 +2.99 (+13.27%)ADMA ADMA Biologics, Inc. 9.25 +0.96 (+11.58%)MEOH Methanex Corporation 65.22 +5.76 (+9.69%)Top losersFLY Firefly Aerospace Inc. 23.71 -3.10 (-11.58%)YOU Clear Secure, Inc. 47.44 -5.96 (-11.16%)ASTS AST SpaceMobile, Inc. 78.67 -9.19 (-10.46%)HNGE Hinge Health, Inc. 36.25 -3.93 (-9.78%)ZETA Zeta Global Holdings Corp. 14.55 -1.53 (-9.51%)Most activeNVDA NVIDIA Corporation 167.52 -3.72 (-2.17%)GRAB Grab Holdings Limited 3.5700 -0.1400 (-3.77%)TSLA Tesla, Inc. 361.83 -10.28 (-2.76%)INTC Intel Corporation 43.13 -0.97 (-2.20%)NU Nu Holdings Ltd. 13.60 -0.42 (-3.00%)Top economic eventsEarnings eventsMy earnings eventsEarnings events
