“Clare really listened to what I was looking for and helped me find a role that is a good fit. As a recruiter she had a perfect "amount of presence". I felt supported and well informed throughout the process and not pushed into anything. She explained the role and the expectations in detail so that I felt well prepared for each stage of interviews. Clare was always ready to answer questions and clear any doubts along the way. “

“I have recently been placed in a new role by Curio Careers and I couldn't be happier! Clare really took the time to get to know me and what I was after in a role. The approach was very tailor-made, really getting into the detail of what makes me tick and ensuring that aligned on both a personal and professional level. This ensured a really smooth interview process and the communication during that time with Clare was great - on hand for any queries and support and really going above and beyond to ensure the stars aligned!”

“I'm very grateful to Hazel for her help with my career - she took the time to get to know me before discussing and putting me forward for roles. She always kept me informed about opportunities. Hazel’s experience and care really showed and made a difference. Hazel clearly focuses on the qualities of candidates and the correct match, which is particularly important for senior recruitment. She followed up with supportive messages and updates. I have been in my role for over a year and despite the current uncertain economic environment, have a secure position, more training and support to grow than I have experienced in any other practice and am looking forward to a promotion next year, to a role that I have hoped for and worked towards for many years. I have recommended and will continue to recommend Curio to colleagues.”

“I had just started, and was getting used to a new position following a 28 year period in a previous practice, when Hazel got in touch with me. So it was going to require a particular talent to make me consider another move so quickly! Hazel is able to use all her experience and a very specific skill in understanding the needs from both sides of the arrangement. It was clear that from just reviewing my CV and previous experience, Hazel was able to pin-point the correct aspects of my career and background and how they would fit well within a new role in a new office. Always friendly and accessible, it has always been a pleasure to talk with Hazel, knowing she would get back in touch with any updates as soon as she could. I would greatly recommend Hazel and Curio to anyone requiring a first class and personal service.”

“When Hazel approached me and mentioned the position on offer, I was looking for a change from a traditional design role, and it sounded like a fantastic opportunity. The team at Curio were always very supportive throughout the process, very friendly and offered a personalised service. Hazel is a fantastic listener and always gives excellent advice. Working with Hazel and the team to find amazing colleagues who are well-matched to the culture and the required skills for the role has been incredible. Hazel still takes the time to check in with me on how the role is going and being a general support and advocate of the business. Hazel found me the ideal role I had been looking for - each year, the job responsibilities change due to the dynamic nature of the company - the company is growing, and I see a very bright future for me at my new firm. I have already recommended Hazel and her team to others and will continue to do so.”

“My experience working with Curio was great. I had previously worked with Hazel, both for myself in seeking a new role, and also to recruit staff for my teams, so I had no hesitation in using Hazel for my next job search. I felt with other consultants that all they cared about was securing the placement so they could get their commission, rather than making sure that the person and post were fit for purpose. This is really noticeable as you get closer to making a deal, when most consultants tend to really push you to accept a proposal. This was not the case at all with Hazel. I had other offers, including a counteroffer from the company that I was planning to leave, but Hazel was very calm, patient and understanding at all times, including during the last-minute moments of stress and doubts. I felt heard, understood and supported throughout the entire process and Curio went above and beyond for me. The role Hazel secured for me was exactly what I was looking for, it’s been the logical step up in my career and I can see a bright future here. I would 100% recommend Curio!”
