Working well with a shadchan is key to success. It begins with establishing a good working relationship, including finding one that suits you, and learning how they operate. The partnership’s success will be greatly enhanced if you provide the shadchan with the tools to help you, especially clear information about yourself and what you are looking for. Finally, responding to suggestions from the shadchan in a communicative manner will prove enormously helpful, from clarifying the basis for the suggestion, to agreeing on a timeline for research, to handling a suggestion refusal.
