Job summary

Tinder is seeking a Lead Talent Acquisition Partner to own full-cycle hiring for senior and leadership roles, partnering with executives to shape interview frameworks, calibration standards, and sourcing strategies.

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area with a hybrid schedule, you will mentor recruiters, drive data-driven decisions, and elevate our talent strategy across the org, while ensuring inclusive hiring and competitive offers.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of full-cycle recruiting experience, including leadership-level searches.
• Experience building interview rubrics, calibration processes, and scalable recruiting frameworks.
• Experience advising senior stakeholders and influencing hiring decisions with data and market expertise.
• Strong sourcing and talent-mapping skills with engagement of passive candidates in competitive markets.
• Comfort using recruiting analytics to diagnose funnel issues and propose fixes.
• Proficiency with Greenhouse, Lever, or similar ATS platforms, plus modern sourcing tools (LinkedIn Recruiter, Boolean search).
• Experience coaching or mentoring other recruiters.
• Strong grasp of inclusion principles with a track record of implementing inclusive hiring practices.

Responsibilities

• Talent Strategy & Executive Partnership: Partner with senior leaders to develop proactive hiring strategies aligned with long-term workforce plans. Translate market intelligence and hiring data into actionable recommendations, anticipate talent needs before they emerge, and challenge assumptions with data-backed perspectives.
• Recruiting Excellence & Process Leadership: Lead end-to-end hiring for critical roles while continuously improving interview frameworks, assessment methodologies, and hiring processes. Drive calibration, elevate hiring rigor through structured interviewing, and leverage AI-enabled tools and analytics to improve efficiency and decision-making. Mentor other recruiters on sourcing, candidate experience, and stakeholder management — a coaching scope, not a people-management one.
• Market Intelligence & Talent Mapping: Maintain deep expertise across technical talent markets — tracking competitive landscapes, compensation trends, and emerging skill sets. Conduct talent mapping, execute sophisticated multi-channel sourcing strategies, and regularly brief leaders on market conditions to inform workforce planning.
• Inclusive Hiring & Talent Attraction Embed equitable, structured hiring practices throughout the recruiting lifecycle. Partner with talent communities and strategic sourcing channels to expand access to underrepresented talent and champion a consistent, values-driven candidate experience.
• Talent Brand & Candidate Experience Serve as a compelling ambassador for Tinder — articulating our mission, culture, and value proposition authentically. Build high-touch candidate relationships and partner cross-functionally to strengthen employer branding initiatives.
• Offer Strategy & Stakeholder Management Guide leaders through complex hiring decisions balancing candidate experience, market realities, and internal equity. Develop competitive offer strategies and build strong partnerships across TA, People, Compensation, and business leadership to drive alignment and achieve hiring goals.
