You can use either that or who to refer to people so both versions are correct. It's all about personal preference. Check the link below if you want any clarification. A lot of people prefer to use who for people and that for animals but both can be used for people.

Both are correct. In Defining Relative Clauses you can use the pronoun "who" for people but "that" for people or things. As Ammie has said it is only a question of preference.

The second one.

The second because the the word "THAT" refers to an object, the word "WHO" refers to human objects and more than one human object or person.
If it were a singular personal address; as in to one person, It would be "WHOM".

"Speed Dating for those who don't need to" is d more correct tagline. "those" refers to people so "who" is d logical word that follows.

The answer is WHO, because you are referring to people not objects
