How a deep match is really found

Here we take the engine apart: what we ask, why, and what happens behind the scenes until a suggestion reaches you — and after.

Six stations

From signup to a mutual yes

At every station: what happens, and why we built it this way.

  1. 15–10 minutes

    You sign up

    Age, religious style, a few words about you and what you are looking for. You verify your phone with an SMS code, and you can stop midway and come back.

    Why this way

    Enough to start matching, and no more. You add depth in the Heart Map, at your own pace.

    • SMS code verification
    • Private profile — never searchable

    Sample

  2. 210–30 minutes

    You fill in the Heart Map

    It starts with 12 questions, and you go deeper when you want. The questions adapt to the track you chose — Haredi, national-religious, traditional or secular.

    Why this way

    The Heart Map is what the system matches by: some answers are thresholds, and the rest go into the compatibility score. The fuller the map, the more accurate the suggestions.

    • 12 questions on the quick track
    • Open even without signing up

  3. 3Every Saturday night

    The system scans the whole pool

    Every Saturday night the system rescans the whole pool and ranks it — in both directions: are you what the other side is looking for, and are they what you are looking for.

    Why this way

    A match in one direction is not enough. Preferences like height lower a score rather than rule someone out, and only the strong matches become a suggestion.

    • A full scan every week
    • Matching in both directions

    Sample

  4. 4Usually Sun & Wed evenings

    A suggestion arrives — with a reason

    Automatic suggestions go out in rounds, usually on Sunday and Wednesday evenings — that is the rhythm, not a promise. Every suggestion comes with a written reason and "What stood out to us", and you see a first name only. Beside them there are suggestions our matchmakers put together themselves.

    Why this way

    A written reason lets you decide on a reason, not just a photo — and shows you whether the system understood you.

    • Written reason + "What stood out"
    • First name only

    Sample

  5. 5Before the other side

    You said yes? A person reviews the introduction

    Three buttons: "Not a fit", "Interested" (saved, nothing is sent) or "I approve". You approved — and before the introduction goes on to the other side, a person reviews it. Said no? Tell us what was missing, and it sharpens the next suggestion.

    Why this way

    The system is good at finding. Before anyone approaches the other side in your name, a person makes sure the introduction is right for both of you.

    • "Interested" sends nothing
    • "Not a fit" teaches the system

    Sample

  6. 6At your own pace

    You both said yes

    Contact details open only when you both say yes. The other side always answers for free, and a suggestion left unanswered for 30 days is quietly released.

    Why this way

    Nobody gets your details without your yes — and nobody is left waiting forever.

    • Contact details only after a mutual yes
    • The other side answers free

    Sample

Privacy and trust

Built on discretion. Not on browsing.

How you search matters as much as what you find — especially when everyone knows someone who knows you.

Your profile is never searchable

It cannot be browsed and cannot be found. It is shown to the other side only when there is a specific suggestion — not before, and never to anyone you are not suggested to.

  1. Before a suggestionOnly our matchmakers see you. No candidate does.
  2. When a suggestion is sentOnly the person suggested to you — first name only.
  3. After a mutual yesContact details open to both of you — and only then.

First name only

The other side knows you by your first name only — your surname isn't shown in the suggestion, the emails or the profile they see. In a small community, that is the difference.

In the suggestion, the e-mail and the profile

A human eye before it moves on

The system finds and explains. After your yes, a person reviews the introduction before it goes to the other side — and when you have a question, there is someone to write to.

After your yes — never before

A written reason in every suggestion

Not a photo and a line: why this person, and why for you.

Why her, why him

For every community

You choose a track — Haredi, national-religious, traditional or secular — and the questionnaire and the matching adapt to it.

Haredi · national-religious · traditional · secular

What we check: phone verification at sign-up, an automatic quality screen of the main photo and text of everyone who registers — a profile that fails it is kept out of the rounds — and a human eye before an introduction moves on to the other side.

What we don't: background checks.

Shidduch card

A card you can send to anyone who suggests

From your profile you can create a tidy shidduch card — who you are and what you are looking for, in a few lines — and send it to matchmakers and acquaintances outside NeshamaTech too.
