No it wasn’t the suggestion of the OP. Snow suggested putting a shadchan on retainer to redd shidducim.
Your model (if it could be implemented) is wholly different and i for one am very interested to see if there really are numberous shadchanim who would take on the role of being advocates and compensated for results produced. If it can be, i would promote as best as I could.
the difference between the two models are self evident.
1. compensation only for results
2. more importantly, by having a effective advocate, the single will get attention from scores of shadchanim instead of just from one “retainer shadchan”.
What remains to be seen is wheter there really are a bunch – or even a few – shadchanim out there who have any interest in being advocates isntead of redding shidducim.
