What is the Difference Between a Yours Truly Christian Matchmaking Client and Candidate?Yours Truly Christian Matchmaking Clients are high-caliber, successful, and commitment- minded individuals who retain us in order to conduct a proactive search on their behalf. Our Clients do not need to be “fixed up” - they simply do not have the time or energy to spend on dates that do not have potential. All of our Clients are personally interviewed in-depth before becoming a member. A Client is paired directly with a personal Matchmaker - who, along with a team of researchers, proactively conducts their search on his or her behalf. Yours Truly Christian Matchmaking Candidates are high-caliber, quality individuals who are ready for a long-term, committed relationship, but not in a position at present to retain a search with Yours Truly Christian Matchmaking personally. Our Candidate Program is comprised of over 250,000 individuals from across North America as well as internationally. Our Candidates are dedicated to making their love life a priority. Our Candidate Program is always complimentary - there are no hidden fees. You will never pay to be a Candidate. Your profile will always be 100% confidential. Yours Truly Christian Matchmaking Clients may be matched with registered Candidates, other Clients, and/or individuals specifically recruited based on their individual search criteria.
