Materialists and the Rise of Professional Matchmaking

Matchmaking is having a moment—on screen and off. With the upcoming release of Materialists, the world is finally seeing what we’ve known all along: finding the right partner is one of the most important life decisions.  

Behind the scenes of real-life client love stories are industry trailblazers like our Founder & President Barbie Adler. Nearly three decades ago, Barbie founded Selective Search, using the same principles she learned in her successful career in executive search. Barbie believed the same strategic approach could be applied to people’s love lives, and her instincts were right. Today, Selective Search stands as the nation’s leading luxury matchmaking firm, with our team of dedicated matchmakers helping high-caliber individuals find meaningful, lasting relationships.  

We’re thrilled to see matchmaking getting the attention it deserves in pop culture and the press. From Harper’s Bazaar, to Glamour, Variety, and People Magazine, Materialists is showcasing the importance of love and matchmaking.  

We don’t know how the movie will end, but we’re confident it will spotlight just how powerful and life-changing professional matchmaking can be. Because when it comes to love, outsourcing might just be the smartest decision you make. 

“Deciding to work with Selective Search was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. They’ve taken my search very seriously and approach the engagement with the highest level of professionalism and discretion. My matchmaker is extremely attentive, proactive, and thoughtful with her suggestions; consistently putting me in a position to be successful. That’s all I could ever ask for.”  – J.G., Selective Search Client

It’s time to outsource your love life to the experts.
