I for one am NOT a proponenet of community hired shadchanim. It has produced very mixed results. I don’t bleieve that it is very effective. One shadchan can not foucs on tens or hundreds of girls, and the cost to pay salaries to enought shadchanim to look out for a community is clearlyl prohibitive.
I’m a proponent of compensating whomever it is that gets a quality date set up. That DOES work. and it gets attention from far more than just the one hired shadcahn. This is a way that HS teachers, recent married alumnin AND shadchanim from all over will give attention to that community.
it works-try it!
