The Story of Selective Search
Our founder, Barbie Adler, spent 15 years as an executive recruiter — placing top talent inside some of the world’s most demanding organizations. She knew what rigorous vetting looked like. She knew what “the right fit” meant. And she believed finding a life partner deserved the same standard. Watch how that belief became Selective Search.
Giving Back Is Part of Who We Are
At Selective Search, we believe that meaningful relationships — whether romantic, familial, or communal — are what make a life well-lived. That belief extends beyond our work with clients. Our team actively supports local and national organizations through donations, volunteered time, and event sponsorships. The causes closest to us reflect the same values we bring to every search: connection, dignity, and investing in others. We’re proud to have sponsored numerous events and charities throughout our history.
It’s time to outsource your love life to the experts.
