Match Group CEO revives Tinder internship, drawing 30,000+ applicants for 27 spots

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Match Group CEO Spencer Rascoff has revived the company's shuttered internship program, named "Tindership," to bring in young talent. Despite a challenging job market for Gen Z, the program received over 30,000 applications for only 27 positions, highlighting the demand for entry-level opportunities. The selected interns will work across various departments at Tinder from June to August, with a revamped curriculum and mentorship. This initiative contrasts with other companies like Tesla and Meta, which have reduced or eliminated their internship offerings. Rascoff believes that having Gen Z employees involved is crucial for the success of Match Group's dating apps, which primarily target this demographic. AI

IMPACT This initiative highlights the ongoing challenges for Gen Z in the job market, partly attributed to AI's impact on entry-level roles.
