Inside a Matchmaker's Vetting Process: What We Look For
What happens behind the scenes when a matchmaker vets a potential match? Here is what professional screening actually includes — and why it protects your time.
Clients often ask what happens before an introduction. Vetting is the heart of professional matchmaking — it is how a matchmaker protects your time and reputation.
Here is what thoughtful screening typically includes at Savvy Singles.
Relationship goals and timeline
We look for clarity about what someone wants now — partnership, marriage, family plans — and whether that aligns with your goals.
Readiness and availability
Emotional availability matters as much as single status. Recent breakups, unresolved entanglements, or ambiguity about commitment are red flags.
Values, lifestyle, and communication
Work rhythm, geography, social habits, and how someone handles conflict all affect long-term fit more than a shared hobby.
Deal-breakers and must-haves
Your stated standards should be respected — not debated away for the sake of making a match.
Two-way screening
Vetting runs both directions. You are evaluated for fit too — which keeps the process honest.
