Unmasking Biased Education Consultants

Yes, the search for a suitable study takes forever and even if you found a programme, there is still another task open: The Application.

So why not hire someone who can do that for you in exchange for money?

You pay them to find something that (might) fit with you and pay them a crazy amount of money for that little service. That’s basically why consultant agencies exist.

But what’s the problem here (except your empty pocket afterwards)?

Let’s unfold it in this Blog!

What you see when entering the consultant agency:

Some education consultants prioritize profits over students, recommending universities that pay them commissions rather than those that truly fit the student’s needs.

This limits choices and shifts the focus from the student’s goals to the consultant’s financial gain.

Here is an easy example to understand this dilemma:

You are a consultant and need to recommend potential students (client) to universities.

  • University A pays you 1€ for each student forwarded.

  • University B pays you 5€ for each student forwarded.

    To which university would you send your client?

This is simple business math.

If you want to survive - make profits.

Unfortunately this means for you, that results are biased and not necessarily based on the best outcome for you!

Only StudyfinderAI can give you the full perspective on possibilities and ensure the output is as unibased as possible!

How is that possible?

1. We do not finance ourself with commissions - StudyfinderAI is neutral and not biased towards specific institutions.

2. Our European Dataset gives you access to all possibilities, not limited by locations or language barriers. No human can possibly know about all study courses, but AI can.

3. Asking specific questions about your interests and preferences ensures that the match is truly a match!

During our market research we came across this whole consultant agency scheme and decided to do something about it!

Of course this does not mean that every agency or service person is biased that way but we want to ensure that potential students really find what interests them and not only taking the seemingly “easy path” that they might regret 3 years later after noticing the chosen study sucks and doesn’t match.
