Job description

About Match

Match Group is a leading provider of dating products across the globe. Our portfolio includes Tinder, Match, Match‑Meetic, Hinge, PlentyOfFish, The League, and others, each designed to spark meaningful connections for singles worldwide. Creating a sense of belonging doesn't stop at our products — it's the foundation of every team we hire.

When it comes to dating, the connection starts online, but the real magic happens once you meet in real life (IRL). We think the same is true for creating the best products, so we work together IRL in our Dallas office 3 days/week.

About the Role

As a Staff Recruiter, you'll lead hiring across our Product, Design, Engineering and Analytics organizations, partnering closely with senior leaders as a trusted talent advisor. You'll help shape hiring decisions by providing market insights, talent intelligence, and data‑driven recommendations that enable thoughtful, long‑term growth.

This is a highly visible, high‑impact role for a recruiter who thinks beyond individual requisitions. You'll influence talent strategy, anticipate hiring needs before they emerge, and bring a strong point of view on how to attract, assess, and hire exceptional talent. Success in this role requires a blend of strategic thinking, business acumen, and the ability to build credibility with stakeholders at every level of the organization.

Talent Strategy & Executive Partnership

Partner with senior DEPA 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 DEPA 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.

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 under‑represented talent and champion a consistent, values‑driven candidate experience.

Talent Brand & Candidate Experience

Serve as a compelling ambassador for Match Group — 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.

Requirements

• 8+ years of full‑cycle recruiting experience supporting DEPA organizations in high‑growth environments, ideally within consumer technology, marketplace, or mobile‑first companies
• Demonstrated success influencing senior leaders through data, market expertise, and strategic consultation, including experience shaping hiring strategy across multiple technical functions and seniority levels
• Strong sourcing, talent mapping, and passive candidate engagement capabilities
• Expertise in structured interviewing, assessment design, and process optimization
• Experience leveraging recruiting analytics to drive continuous improvement
• Strong business acumen and stakeholder management skills
• Familiarity with modern recruiting technologies, AI‑enabled tools, and ATS platforms such as Greenhouse, Lever, or Workday

Benefits

• Mind & Body: Medical, mental health, and wellness benefits to support your overall health and well‑being
• Financial Wellness: Competitive compensation, 100% employer match on 401(k) contributions up to 10% (cap at $10,000), and an employee stock purchase program to support your financial security
• Unplug: Generous PTO and 14 paid holidays so you can unplug
• Career: Annual training allowance for professional development and ERG membership opportunities and events
• Family: 20 weeks of 100% paid parental leave, fertility, adoption, and childcare resources, as well as pet insurance and discounts
• Company Gatherings: We host events where employees can get to know each other and build a sense of connection and belonging

We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer and we value the rich dynamics that diversity brings to our company. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, creed, national origin, ancestry, disability, marital status, age, sexual orientation, sex (including pregnancy and sexual harassment), gender identity or expression, uniformed service or veteran status, genetic information, or any other legally protected characteristic. Period.

If you require a reasonable accommodation to participate in the hiring process — such as during pre‑employment testing or interviews — please indicate this by selecting “Yes” in the accommodation request field. We’ll reach out to discuss your needs if you're selected for the interview stage.
