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 platforms, so we work together IRL 3 days/week.
We're looking for a Senior Manager, Talent Acquisition to lead and scale our Dallas-based recruiting team, supporting hiring across Match Group and our Evergreen and Emerging brands. This is a high-visibility, high-impact role for a recruiter-turned-leader who is equally comfortable advising in the boardroom and rolling up their sleeves alongside their team. You'll own hiring strategy, develop a team of recruiters, and bring structure and rigor to how we attract talent across corporate, product, and engineering functions.
This role will be expected to work in our Dallas office three days a week.
How you'll make an impact:
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of recruiters supporting hiring across multiple functions and levels.
- Guide recruiters on stakeholder partnership, hiring strategy, and delivering a candidate experience that reflects the company's values.

- Lead hiring teams across corporate, product, engineering, and business functions while helping recruiters broaden their expertise across disciplines and hiring domains.
- Align diverse stakeholders around a shared hiring vision in complex, matrixed environments.
- Partner with hiring managers to define ideal candidate profiles and translate them into targeted, effective search strategies.
- Act as a strategic talent advisor to senior leaders, bringing a clear point of view on sequencing, tradeoffs, and how to move fast without sacrificing quality.
- Own how the team allocates resources across a dynamic and often competing set of hiring demands — balancing urgency, business impact, and recruiter capacity
- Partner with Leadership, HRBPs, and Finance on headcount planning and translate those plans into executable recruiting strategy
- Track and report on a comprehensive metrics suite — time-to-hire, offer acceptance rate, funnel conversion, and source effectiveness
- Use data to identify bottlenecks, improve team performance, and surface insights (not just reports) to leadership
Continuously audit and refine recruiting workflows to drive consistency, efficiency, and scalability across the team - Shape candidate messaging and help the team communicate Match Group’s value proposition to engage top talent early in the hiring process.
- Build relationships with external organizations and communities that strengthen Match Group's talent brand in the market.
