A partner, not just a recruitment agency
With CuroHelp, you’re never left on your own.
We support you throughout your placement and career.
While recruitment agencies can offer job introductions, many candidates experience significant drawbacks when relying on them. These challenges often stem from the traditional agency model, which prioritises placement volume over long-term support or job satisfaction.
You Are Treated as a Product, not a Professional
Traditional recruitment agencies get paid only when they place you, which encourages speed over suitability.
This often results in:
Lack of Transparency About Salaries & Job Conditions
Candidates often report that recruitment agencies:
This leads to mismatched expectations and poor job satisfaction.
Limited Aftercare … or None at All
Once you’re placed, most recruitment agencies step away completely.
You’re left with:
You are essentially on your own.
No Career Development or Training
Traditional recruitment agencies rarely invest in their candidates.
That means:
Your long-term career is not their priority — only the placement fee is.
Pressure to Accept Jobs Quickly
Because recruitment agencies earn only when you start a job, candidates often face:
This often leads to short-term placements and career instability.
Inconsistent Communication
Common candidate frustrations include:
This creates uncertainty and damages confidence.
High Staff Turnover Within Recruitment Agencies
Many recruitment agencies experience frequent internal staff changes.
As a result:
Continuity and personal understanding are often missing.
Some Recruitment Agencies Share CVs Without Permission
Candidates often discover their CV has been:
This can put you in uncomfortable or unprofessional situations.
Recruitment Agencies Don’t Protect Your Rights
Agencies do not:
Your wellbeing is not contractually their responsibility.
No Income Security
If a placement ends:
This creates uncertainty and financial vulnerability.
In Summary
Traditional recruitment agencies are built to serve clients first, not candidates.
Their model prioritises placements over people, leaving candidates with:
This is why a modern staffing solution, like our Private Staff as a Service™, is increasingly preferred by candidates seeking real security, ongoing support, and professional respect.
