Recommending Shadchanim

Singles and parents of singles on the site are now able to recommend Shadchanim that they were happy to work with.

After logging onto the site, choose the last link: "Browse and Recommend a partial list of Shadchanim".

On that page on the left side by every Shadchan you will see a number indicating the amount of singles that have recommended that Shadchan or no number if the amount is 0. To the right of that column is a checkbox. Check the box beside any Shadchan you wish to recommend.

This process will help singles know which Shadchanim are most recommended, when choosing which Shadchan to contact.

  1. As a girl who has been single for too long I've had the opportunity of meeting with many Shadchanim.
    As a single girl I've had the UNFORTUNATE opportunity of meeting with many Shadchanim.
    I know a lot has been written about the "shidduch crisis", but I don't follow things like that. I would however like to comment on Shadchanim themselves. I have to say that they should have to pass a test, or take a sensitivity training before dealing with single girls. It's hard enough for a girl to not only be vulnerable with all potential Shiduchim, but to have to be vulnerable with Shadchanim as well is hard. I feel that a lot of Shadchanim ask very inappropriate questions, or ask questions in an inappropriate manner. Some Shadchanim charge money upfront, which I think is completely valid. But I have been charged to meet Shadchanim (and then charged again when they have moved) and have not been called back. I KNOW my role. I KNOW I have to be proactive and I have to advocate for myself and constantly remind the Shadchan that I exist. But I just feel that Shadchanim have to be MUCH more sensitive with the girls.

  2. I hope that the rating system will help singles know which Shadchanim have gone the extra mile and are worth working with. If anyone has had a good experience working with a Shadchan, the blog is a good platform for making that know.

  4. Anash ladies should be more sensitive. And I don't TRY to find faults (or foults), I'm just commenting on them.

  6. Shadchanim who use ChabadMatch the most are more likely to have a higher rating (not necessarily reflective of their work). Perhaps there should be a more comprehensive review feature where Shadchanim can be rated (on a scale) for various skills (e.g. sensitivity, punctuality, attentiveness, professionalism etc.).

  8. Are there any Shadchanim that specialize in older singles and are perhaps more sensitive to less usual situations?
