Match Group, Inc. (MTCH)

Dating apps with a central support team. Read November 11, 2026 from the annual report for the period ending December 31, 2025, filed February 26, 2026. Ranked 22 of the 51 Communication Services companies read so far, by the share within reach now.

A dating app company whose filing states the share of employees in each business unit and in its central team.

The figures on this page come from the company's own annual report and from BLS staffing patterns for its industries, never from a roster. They are estimates with a stated method. Nothing here says what the company will do: within reach is not a forecast of jobs lost or of savings.

What follows from the reading

Share of working time within reach of AI, on the long-run pace at four in five: 50% now, 65% at the end of 2027, 68% at the end of 2028, 69% at the end of 2030. By the patterns, the work is about 69% desk work, 22% people work and 8% body work. These are the site's industry estimates weighted by the shares below: estimates with a stated method and range, not a forecast of what the company will do. By the same patterns, at the end of 2028 about 30% of the working time stays with people (conversation, in-person and hands-on work), 59% becomes checking a model's work and 10% could be handed over with lighter checks, from the industries' own figures, not the company's roles.

Headcount

2,209 employees as of December 31, 2025 (sum of stated parts). The filing states regions, not the U.S.: about 64% in North America, 21% in Asia-Pacific, 13% in EMEA and 2% in Latin America, in 17 countries.

The filing: “As of December 31, 2025, we had approximately 2,200 full-time employees and 9 part-time employees, which represents an approximate 12% year-over-year decrease in employee headcount.”

The workforce as industry patterns

What the filing says about the workforce: The majority of employees work in engineering or technical roles. The filing says headcount fell about 12% in the year, largely from an enterprise-wide initiative that reduced headcount, management layers and duplicated functions.
