Our vision for the future is ambitious: to become the reference for consumers looking to simplify the management of their home contracts and recurring expenses, all through a single tool.

With more than 2,200 employees, 106 million € in revenues in 2024, and operations in 17 countries, Selectra is among Europe's leading startups. Selectra was part of the French Tech 120, a yearly selection of the 120 most promising startups operated by the French government. Selectra is also frequently ranked among the fastest growing European companies by the Financial Times or the French economic media Les Echos.

In its recruitment, Selectra favors humble candidates who are passionate about their work and excel in their field of expertise, creating a truly stimulating work environment. At Selectra, where young graduates often hold top positions, we believe that age and experience should not be obstacles, but rather assets. Selectra has deeply ingrained in its DNA a rejection of the pitfalls often encountered in the workplace (useless meetings, bureaucracy, slowness, sidelining) and never allows unhealthy work situations to take hold. In summary, we make it a point of honor to create a work environment where kindness and mutual assistance prevail. We firmly believe that it is this healthy atmosphere that attracts the best talents and enables us to achieve our goals successfully.

Introduction to Local Business Development at Selectra

Originally a web-based company, Selectra used to exclusively source its customers through SEO (ranking on Google on qualified keywords) and SEA (paid ads) strategies. Selectra recently diversified its acquisition by growing partnerships with real estate companies who refer our services to customers who move into a new home and need our help to set up electricity, natural gas, Internet and home insurance. Selectra shares the commission it gains from energy or Internet suppliers and insurers with its real estate partners. A fast growing team works in this department for Spain, Portugal, Austria, France, Belgium and Italy.
