Our Approach
[H2] Go on your last first date.
Hinge is built on the belief that anyone looking for love should be able to find it. It’s also built on an acclaimed Nobel-Prize-winning algorithm, so we can succeed in getting you out on promising dates, not keeping you on the app.How we do it

Find openingsDiversity & Inclusion
[H2] Diversity inspires innovation.
We believe success is created by a diverse workforce of individuals with different ideas, strengths, interests, and cultural backgrounds.01
[H3] Open the Circle
Our community exists within a very imperfect world, so we must all counter the broader cultural inertia. It's not about discriminating, it's about actively welcoming and including. It's not about being colorblind, it's about being colorful.02
[H3] Lead with Love
We lean into important conversations with open minds and open hearts. When we believe we see bias or insensitivity, we exercise radical candor. We avoid call-outs and assume positive intent. We bravely admit our mistakes and share our learnings broadly.03
[H3] Know Our Unknowns
We strive to be aware of the gaps in our knowledge and experience. We lean into important conversations with open minds and open hearts. When we believe we see bias or insensitivity, we exercise radical candor. We make few assumptions and ask many questions.04
[H3] No Spokespeople
We recognize each person can only share their individual perspective. While we encourage this sharing, no one person speaks or should be asked to speak on behalf of some aspect of their identity. When inquiring, we lean into our six Employee Resource Groups or standard research methods.05
[H3] Zero Hate
We have a zero-tolerance for hateful speech or action, especially when it relates to someone's background, beliefs, disabilities, or identity. Any incidents should be reported immediately to our HR team or Chief People Officer.06
[H3] Full Equity
We treat every member of our community equally regardless of their background, beliefs, disabilities, or identity when it comes to employment, compensation, or community membership. Any concerns or questions should be directed to our Chief People Officer.07
[H3] Employee Resource Groups
We have six Employee Resource Groups (ERGs)—Asian, Unapologetic, Disability, LGBTQIA+, Raices, and Women/Nonbinary—that hold regular meetings. Past ERG events have included panels, speaker series, networking mixers, happy hours, and retreats.How We Compare

Our MissionHiring Process
[H2] We pride ourselves on our people. Here’s how we find the best.
[IMG: A phone icon.]
[H3] A call to get to know each other.
As a first step, we want to have a quick chat to learn more about you, your career goals, and why you’re interested in Hinge and the role you applied for. Bring your questions—this should be a good fit for both of us!
[IMG: An icon of a person with lightbulbs around their head.]
[H3] The skills interview.
You’ll meet with members of the team you’d be working with at Hinge to discuss your experience in the key skills needed for the role. (We’ll make sure we’re on the same page about what they are before the interview.) It’s also a good time to get answers to all your nitty-gritty questions about the day-to-day work on this team.
[IMG: An open book icon.]
[H3] The narrative interview.
Let’s talk past, present, and future. Come prepared with examples from previous roles that display a growth mindset. This isn’t a memorization exercise, so feel free to bring notes that help highlight prior projects.
[IMG: A team icon.]
[H3] The culture interview.
The culture interview is near and dear to our hearts, because it’s “how we work.” It’s crucial that you not only embody our values, but that you thrive at Hinge. You’ll talk to Hinge team members from all over the organization, who have been trained to conduct these interviews.

Our Values
[H2] Relationships are at the core of everything we do.
And not just the romantic kind. We can’t accomplish really hard things alone—so we make great relationships the foundation of our teamwork.We believe these three core values are what it takes to build those great relationships.
[IMG: Couple smiling at eachother]
Our Principles
[H2] We put our values in action.
Our principles guide us to put our values first with every decision.01
[H3] Love the Problem
Breakthrough innovation happens when we spend time deeply understanding a problem, not jumping to solutions.02
[H3] Keep it Simple
We prioritize elegant solutions that align with our biggest goals – both as an organization and within teams. We say "no" to a lot so we can do the few things that matter most.03
[H3] Decide with Principles
We are highly thoughtful and intentional with every decision at Hinge. Decisions are driven by principles, not arbitrary personal judgment.04
[H3] Tend to Trust
At Hinge, we tend to trust each other; we also put in the work to nurture and rebuild trust through transparency and open collaboration. When trust is missing, we speak up.Our Approach
[H2] The Hinge Difference
[H3] Detailed Profiles
Go ahead, be picky. Hinge profiles encourage you to share your religion, education, and day-to-day life so we can introduce you to the best people for you.
[H3] Proven Prompts
Answer three prompts to activate your profile, and switch them up any time. We review our prompts and keep the ones that are most likely to get you out on a date.
[H3] Conversation Starters
Our research found that liking specific pictures or prompts leads to better matches and more dates than liking a profile in general. So now users must like a specific part of a Hinge profile—they can even add a comment to their like to kickstart a conversation.
[H3] Matchmaking Algorithm
Hinge uses a Nobel-Prize-winning algorithm that helps you go on better quality dates, not just more dates. You’re eight times more likely to have a great date with your Most Compatible suggestions, aka the people you’re most likely to have mutual chemistry with.
[H3] Meaningful Likes
Research has shown us that eight is the magic number. When our members had more free likes per day, their matches were worse. When they had fewer, they were paying to send more. So now everyone gets eight for free.
[H3] Transparent Likes
No anonymous likes—we show you who has liked you, so you don’t miss out on a potential match.
[H3] Reply Reminders
We let you know when it’s your turn to reply. It’s a friendly nudge that helps you focus on your matches and limits accidental ghosting.
[H3] Smart Matches
We ask about your dates to learn your type so we can introduce you to the right people.Hinge Culture
[H2] How We Do Things
Hinge is obsessed with principles — so much so that we wrote a book about them. How We Do Things tells the story of the key ideas that guide just about everything we do here, from hiring and product to working as a team and setting goals.Share this page:Share on TwitterShare on FacebookCopy PermalinkLink copied!Download Our Job Openings
