Last month, Curio had the pleasure of joining Ede Enablers and Disrupt Magazine to host ‘Disrupting Norms’, a captivating panel event featuring Alison Brooks, Jane Clay, and Alice Dietsch, expertly chaired and moderated by Tania Ihlenfeld. Read our recap of the evening here.

In today's job market, things may seem quieter, with many firms hitting the pause button on their hiring initiatives. But for those willing to seize the opportunity, now is a fantastic time to bring aboard talented architecture and design professionals.

At Curio Careers, we are passionate advocates for raising the profile of women in architecture. We were therefore incredibly proud to sponsor the recent Women in Architecture UK (WIA) mentoring programme closure and celebration event. We look at some of the key takeaways from the night’s discussions.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of hosting a breakfast roundtable in celebration of the launch of my new executive search and recruitment agency, Curio. The breakfast brought together HR, business and diversity leaders from the architectural industry to talk about how to make practices more diverse and inclusive.

2021 was a time for huge growth for many of the international practices. Sonder worked exclusively with an international architectural practice supporting on strategic/senior hires and design superstars across four offices - Europe and Asia.

Curio is focused on diversity and inclusion, we actively search and select a diverse range of profiles for our clients. We take responsibility for making that happen in all our searches.

Curio was approached by the founder of a 200+ architecture practice looking at making change in their internal structures enabling clearer defined pathways for their architects, gaining clarity on roles, levels and creating new positions to open up further opportunities.
