Why are we so good at what we do?

• Selective Search is not a dating service. We Are A One-On-One Personal Matchmaker.
  Selective Search is an upscale, offline, old-fashioned boutique personal matchmaking firm. This means we cater to the individual on every level. Trusted, professional matchmakers work one-on-one with our Clients to achieve their relationship goals. Discreet and highly confidential, we personally screen and interview each Affiliate prior to presenting them to our Clients. We use proven executive recruiting techniques to ‘read between the lines’ and get to the core of the individual, so we can cherry-pick the must meet individuals for our Clients. Selective Search is a specialist in personal attention – allowing us to match our Clients to the love of their life.
  
  
• Your Lynchpin To Attractive, Sought-After Singles
  Selective Search is highly active in premier social and business circles. As a result, we have created a network of trust from, and access to over 25,000 (and rapidly growing) highly desirable singles from around the country and abroad. Our Affiliates are the ‘needles in the haystack’ – attractive, bright, interesting singles with a zest for life who are also looking for a special person. We are judicious about who we include in our network, accepting only men and women of true substance and style - fit, intelligent, emotionally healthy, attractive and fun-loving individuals. We personally pre-screen, interview and get to know in detail our Affiliates before we consider presenting them to a Client. We would never match a Client with an Affiliate who didn’t meet their criteria and vice versa.
  
  

  We pride ourselves on our network, which further expands through the Affiliates themselves. Based on their positive experience and success with Selective Search, the men and women in our network are so confident in our abilities they continually refer other high-caliber singles to us. Their word-of-mouth has become one of our most important assets in meeting 'one-of-a-kind' singles. Our network's enthusiasm for referring their inner circle demonstrates our ability to find exactly the right match that meets their standards and criteria. Although our network includes over 25,000 (and growing daily) quality singles from around the country and abroad, we don’t restrict your search to it. We leave no stone unturned in looking for a potential mate for our Clients.

• We Are Selective
  We are selective with the Clients we chose to represent, the Affiliates in our network and in the matches we create. Our Clients are seeking a committed, long-lasting relationship. They are not interested in dating just to date. It’s our role to guide them to and handpick the individual who will make the most appropriate match. In addition, our Affiliates are not your average online or dating service type of single. They are quality individuals with substance and style. They are the ‘rare-find’ kind of man or woman who isn’t frequenting bars or clubs to meet their ideal mate. They, like our Clients are not interested in dating just to date. They too are selective, which is why they trust & enlist our service. They’re looking for a committed relationship and a future with someone special.
  
  
• We’re Everywhere So You Don’t Have To Be
  In addition to our offices around the country, we have trained, professional ‘Scouts’, who cover the U.S. and abroad; their role is to locate high-quality, singles for our Clients. Our Scouts are smart, classy, sophisticated individuals who attend the latest cultural events, fundraisers, galas, openings, upscale clubs, restaurants and vacation spots - destinations we know that attract a particular kind of woman. Although we have the largest network in the industry and perform national and international searches, Selective Search is very much a boutique personal matchmaker. We specifically work one-on-one with each Client priding ourselves on individual levels of attention, a focus on customer service, a premium on privacy, knowing Clients’ preferences and providing a dedicated staff with industry expertise – hallmarks of the Selective Search boutique experience.
  
  
• An Investment in Growing Our Affiliate Base
  To ensure our network grows daily, we invest heavily in creative nationwide marketing & recruiting efforts. Our profile is further raised through extensive public relations efforts resulting in Selective Search being regularly featured in numerous TV and print publication outlets. Selective Search is also an advisor to several highly-rated network reality shows, and author’s several monthly relationship expert columns for print publications. We are active in dozens of charities and special events around the country throughout the year. All efforts, which allow us to meet new, incredible women and men every day. This gives our Clients access to the largest network in the industry to accommodate their needs and criteria, so they can meet the right individual.
