My experience with Selective Search has been excellent! I worked with Alina and Nikki who are very professional, helpful, upbeat, engaging and I felt they were really working to find the right match for me. You can tell that their matchmakers truly enjoy their work and have a passion for it. The members are also really amazing If you are serious about finding love. The communication both before and after my match has been consistent and proactive. I have only good things to say about them and give them high marks across the board. I'm very happy to have found you and have suggested you to others.

I had been trying online dating for a couple of years, but it didn't work for me. I thought I would try something different. I joined Selective Search in September 2021. At first, I spoke to Alexa, Client and Candidate's coordinator. She was listening to my needs and asking questions getting to know me beyond my profile. Within two months I had my first match. I started to communicate with Nikki Wottrich, Senior Director. Nikki is a real professional.
She has been working with Selective Search for 17 years. Nikki makes the experience personalised and comfortable to deal with, especially when you are out of your comfort zone and you need professional opinion and outside point of view. Many thanks to Nikki and Selective search team for providing guidelines to follow and making a very complicated and stressful process seamless.

Selective Search is amazing! I have experienced many frustrations with online dating. As I was about to give up, I discovered Selective Search. The entire process from start to finish was extremely easy, painless, professional, and exceeded all of my expectations. Barbie and Jessica were both incredible to work with. I was very impressed with the quality and quantity of my matches. They gained my absolute confidence very early in the process and helped me find the love of my life very quickly. I recommend Selective Search with zero reservations.

I had a dismal experience with this service. They charged an incredibly large amount (by any standards) per introduction! Then they introduced me to men only after weeks and months of trying to find someone and they did not even meet the criteria I set for them! I would not advice any women to pay for their service!

Just checked their website and talked a phone call- no contract and since 6 month ago they have been charging me 50$ a month! So disgraceful!

I had worked with Selective Search a few years ago. They were awesome to deal with and I felt like a member of the family. I still keep in touch even after I got hitched. I would highly recommend them to anyone in search of a mate.
Sales Director UKI & MEMA HPE
Peter has produced excellent results in the recruitment campaigns I have asked him to undertake for me. He knows the market and the people and ensures candidates put forward meet all my required criteria. He ensures the work he undertakes is of the highest standard and fully competed. I also like the fact that having completed the assignment he will periodically check to ensure I will still fully happy with the work. I look forward to working with Peter again in the near future.
