HomeAway launches a major expansion that will add 2,000 workers in Austin
Austin-based HomeAway said it is planning a major expansion at The Domain in North Austin, where the nation’s largest vacation rental company will establish its global headquarters in a 16-story office tower that will house more than 2,000 additional employees.
With the expansion, the company is “doubling down” on job growth in its hometown, where it now employs more than 1,500 people, HomeAway president John Kim told the American-Statesman.
“As a global company headquartered in Austin and as the largest and fastest growing consumer tech company based in our hometown, we are well poised to attract the very best talent,” Kim said. “We’re already hiring at a rapid rate across all disciplines worldwide, and our new offices will help us continue to grow, especially as we look for talented designers, engineers and data scientists.”
HomeAway’s expansion marks its continued rapid growth within the $100 billion vacation rental category, the fastest-growing segment in the travel industry. In 2015, HomeAway, which operates the world’s leading network of online vacation rentals, agreed to be acquired by online travel giant Expedia for $3.9 billion.
