Idaho GOP Launches “Tinder for Executive Directors” After Swiping Right on Lucky No. 7
Boise, ID — In a bold new approach to hiring, the Idaho Republican Party has reportedly ditched résumés and reference checks in favor of a Tinder-style app designed to streamline its increasingly frequent search for executive directors.
Dubbed “RightSwipe”, the app allows the state party chair to browse potential hires with the flick of a thumb. And yesterday, Dorothy Moon’s thumb landed squarely on Anthony Tirino — making him, by most unofficial counts, the seventh person to hold the post in her three-year reign as GOP Chair.
“Yesterday, Dorothy Moon swiped right on Anthony Tirino,” said one insider familiar with the party’s hiring process. “Today, he’s filling out his W-4 and trying to remember the Wi-Fi password.”
While Tirino's onboarding packet includes the standard HR forms, it now comes bundled with a laminated card reading: “Hang in there!” and a six-month countdown calendar, just in case.
The app, sources say, features compatibility questions like:
“Can you survive a Central Committee meeting without crying?”
“How do you handle being blamed for everything?”
“Do you know what Robert’s Rules are and can you ignore them with a straight face?”
Though party leadership hailed the app as a time-saving innovation, skeptics wonder how long Tirino will last. “It’s like watching ‘The Bachelor,’” said one longtime GOP observer. “Except instead of roses, they hand out pink slips.”
Moon, for her part, remains optimistic. “We’re confident Anthony is the right fit,” she said. “At least until caucus season. Or the next full moon.”
At press time, Tirino was seen updating his LinkedIn bio and quietly Googling “conflict resolution techniques for volunteer boards.”
