Singles – or parents on their behalf – upload their information and preferences using ZUUG’s engaging, interactive format. In addition they choose which shadchan should facilitate their shidduchim.
There is absolutely no browsing. Shadchanim can’t browse singles in the system. Singles can’t browse other singles.
Based on the information provided, both sides receive a preliminary suggestion with basic info – no last name, no resume. Only two suggestions can be received at any one time, and only six over the course of a month. This ensures that each suggestion is carefully considered.
If both sides feel that it is worth having the shidduch be redt – then and only then – will the shadchan they have chosen be contacted to redt it. At that point the shadchan will be sent the information about both sides to present the shidduch in the classic way.
