Curio Careers Tech Stack
Executive search and staffing for architecture and design practices
Curio Careers is a London-based recruitment consultancy serving architecture and design firms across the UK and Europe. The hiring mix is design-heavy (10 roles), with active leadership recruitment (Managing Director, Head of Development, Head of FF&E) signaling client-side expansion rather than consultant scaling. Pain points around 'lack of internal design team' and 'outsourced design capability' indicate Curio is helping practices build permanent senior talent rather than filling contract gaps — a shift toward strategic hiring over staffing.
