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 RoleAs 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.
