Responsibilities

Full-Cycle Recruitment

Own end-to-end recruiting for engineering, data science, product roles — from intake through offer close, using AI-enabled workflows to drive efficiency at every stage.

Continuously refine interview rubrics, technical assessments, and scorecards to reduce time-to-hire and improve offer conversion.

Track and present metrics including time-to-fill, pass-through rates, offer acceptance, and hiring manager NPS.

Inclusive Hiring & Talent Attraction

Embed inclusive hiring practices throughout the recruiting lifecycle, ensuring interview processes, candidate evaluations, and hiring decisions are structured, equitable, and focused on identifying the strongest talent.

Partner with talent communities, professional organizations, and strategic sourcing channels to expand access to underrepresented talent and strengthen pipeline diversity.

Champion a thoughtful and consistent candidate experience that reflects Hinge's values and employer brand.

Partner with cross-functional stakeholders to strengthen employer branding initiatives and attract exceptional talent.

Build meaningful relationships with candidates, creating a high-touch experience that fosters engagement throughout the hiring process.

Stakeholder and Offer Management

Act as a trusted talent partner to engineering and product leaders — translating market data into actionable hiring recommendations, facilitating calibration, and navigating complex technical role definitions with confidence.

Provide offer guidance grounded in compensation benchmarking, internal equity, and candidate expectations.

Maintain clear, timely communication with all stakeholders — candidates, HRBPs, operations team partners, and business leaders — conducting regular feedback sessions with hiring managers to continuously raise the quality of the recruitment partnership.
