Listed on the New York Stock Exchange American under the ticker symbol `LOV`, the company was formed in 2017 following the merger between Berlin-based Affinitas GmbH and US-based Spark Networks Inc. From small start-up to the world`s 2nd largest publicly listed dating company with over one million monthly paying subscribers, Spark`s success story is nothing short of remarkable. Building relationships is at the heart of what we do. This isn`t just about helping our millions of users find love – it also extends to how we treat each other. The proof? Every year we run an Employee Satisfaction Survey, and over 90% of employees say that Spark Networks has a `great working atmosphere`. We know that strong innovation comes from diverse ideas, and one of our greatest assets is that we have around 250 employees representing over 50 nationalities, from New Zealand to America and everywhere in between. When we hire we look for proactive `doers`, clear communicators, results-focused achievers, entrepreneurial thinkers and active team players.
