Inclusion at Bumble
Bumble Inc. is an equal opportunity employer and strongly encourages people of all ages, color, lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer and non-binary people, veterans, parents, people with disabilities, and neurodivergent people to apply. Reasonable adjustments are available to help you feel more confident throughout the process. In your application, you may note which pronouns you use.
AI in hiring
Bumble may use AI tools to support parts of recruitment, such as helping record, transcribe, and summarize conversations, and supporting job alignment by comparing resumes and job descriptions to highlight skills and potential role matches. All hiring decisions are made by people; AI supports efficiency and candidate experience only and does not evaluate or decide candidacy. Participation in AI-supported interviews and conversations is voluntary and will not impact candidacy. You can opt out by telling your recruiter or interviewer at the start of a call or anytime during the conversation. Summaries and related data are retained only as long as needed under internal retention policies, and you can request deletion by contacting your recruiter.
Fraudulent candidate detection
Bumble’s applicant tracking system analyzes signals relating to device, IP, email, and phone data to protect applicants and the hiring process from fraudulent applications. These signals are indicators for internal review only and do not constitute a definitive determination of identity or intent. No applicant is rejected, advanced, or otherwise affected based solely on this analysis without human review.
