Frequently Asked Questions

Executive Search Dating has been helping busy Canadian professionals find lasting relationships since 2004. With offices in Vancouver, Victoria, Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, Toronto, Ottawa, and Halifax, and an A+ rating from the Better Business Bureau, we are Canada’s most established matchmaking service for singles who want a personalized, confidential, and results-driven approach. Every membership includes guaranteed introductions and ongoing support from a dedicated matchmaker.

If you’re choosing between matchmaking services in Canada, here are the key criteria to consider:

Reputation & Longevity: Look for services with a strong track record, positive reviews, and professional recognition (such as BBB accreditation).

Personalization: Effective matchmaking means hand-selected matches tailored to your lifestyle, values, and long-term goals.

Local Networks: A wide database of eligible singles in your city or region increases your chances of finding the right partner.

Transparency & Guarantees: Memberships should provide clear expectations and guaranteed introductions, not just “as available” matches.

Support Beyond Matching: Coaching, feedback, and relationship guidance ensure each introduction is more meaningful and increases the likelihood of success.

At Executive Search Dating, we combine all of these qualities with more than two decades of experience to give you the highest chance of meeting your ideal long-term partner.

Professional matchmaking services in Canada typically range from a few thousand dollars to $10,000+, depending on the city and the level of personalized service. Unlike dating apps, these services provide a tailored, confidential, and highly selective approach designed for busy professionals who are serious about finding a long-term partner.

Executive Search Dating is a membership-based service that guarantees you a minimum number of quality introductions over a fixed membership period, with unlimited dating opportunities. Many clients find this a worthwhile investment because it saves time, reduces frustration, ensures privacy and confidentiality and increases the likelihood of meeting compatible, relationship-minded matches.

The first step is to speak with an Executive Search Dating Matchmaker, who will explain the specific membership options and costs best suited to your needs. To begin you can call 1-833-551-0221, or submit your information on our confidential registration form and a Matchmaker will contact you within one business day to schedule your free consultation.

Professional matchmaking is a personalized, guided process – not an app or algorithm.

At Executive Search Dating, every client works one-on-one with a dedicated matchmaker who gets to know you personally – your background, lifestyle, goals, and relationship preferences. Your matchmaker then hand-selects and screens potential matches for compatibility, arranging introductions and managing feedback after each date to refine your results.

With over 20 years of experience and an A+ BBB rating, Executive Search Dating offers Canada’s most trusted personalized matchmaking service.

Dating apps, by contrast, are self-directed and largely unverified. Anyone can create a profile, and you’re responsible for screening, messaging, and meeting people on your own – often without knowing who’s truly on the other end. Apps focus on quantity and convenience; while professional matchmaking focuses on quality, compatibility, privacy and long-term success.

In short:

• Matchmakers do the work for you – apps make you do the work yourself.
• The goal is a lasting relationship, not just a match or chat.
• Introductions are private, discreet, and secure – not random or public.

Executive Search Dating members are busy, successful professionals just like you! Our membership base includes doctors, lawyers, entrepreneurs, artists, technology professionals, personal trainers, architects, actors, engineers and many others!

Since 2004, up to 85% of Executive Search Dating clients have entered into relationships before the end of their membership. We define success as helping clients form meaningful, compatible relationships that last beyond their introductions with us.

Clients provide feedback after every match, allowing us to continuously refine our personalized process. Over the past two decades, our average client satisfaction rating has remained above 90%, reflecting consistent success in connecting busy professionals with like-minded partners.

At Executive Search Dating, your privacy and confidentiality are our top priorities. Since 2004, we’ve worked exclusively with busy professionals who value discretion, professionalism, and trust.

All personal information shared with us – including photos, profiles, and feedback – is kept strictly confidential and is never posted online or shared publicly. Every match is personally arranged by your dedicated Matchmaker, ensuring that your details are shared only with carefully selected, pre-screened individuals who meet your criteria.

We also conduct all introductions and communications privately, without the use of public profiles or online databases. Our A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau reflects our long-standing commitment to ethical standards, professional integrity, and client confidentiality.

In short, our matchmaking process is designed to be private, personalized, and completely discreet – just as busy professionals expect.

Executive Search Dating is North America’s first and only Dating Headhunter^®.  Unlike a traditional dating service or matchmaker, Executive Search Dating members are matched with existing members of our service AND also with headhunts who we proactively find, pre-qualify and carefully screen for you with our team of professional Cupids: ‘Cupid’s Strike Force™’.  This unique headhunting aspect provides Executive Search Dating members with an unlimited selection of quality matches.

Here is what happens next:

1. 1. Your consultation meeting is an enjoyable 45 minute meeting with an Executive Search Dating Matchmaker, where you will tell us all about yourself and what you are looking for in a partner.
   2. Our team will then hand select and carefully screen great matches for you, using our database of existing members AND headhunts.
   3. Once we have selected your first match, typically within 24 hours of your consultation meeting, we will call you to present your match and get your availability for your date.
   4. We then make all the date arrangements for you, including making a reservation at one of our partner restaurants.  All you need to do is show up and have a great time on your date.
   5. You then call us the next day with your feedback so that we can continuously fine tune your matching criteria.
