CELEBRATING 10 YEARS OF DOING THINGS DIFFERENTLY!
Posted on 14th August 2025
This year at Netbox Recruitment we’re lighting up the candles (and maybe a few fireworks) as we celebrate a decade of doing things differently in the world of recruitment. Over the past 10 years, we’ve partnered with incredible clients, championed brilliant candidates, and carved out our own unique way of working.
A huge thank you to every candidate who’s trusted us with their career journey and every client who’s invited us to be part of their team’s growth — we couldn’t have done it without you.
Join us as we share the top 10 milestones that have shaped our journey — and the ways we’ve redefined recruitment along the way.

We set and agree time-scales that will enable us to attract the best possible talent whilst providing efficiency for your organisation. We also outline a robust interview schedule.
5. COMPREHENSIVE TALENT SEARCH
We start the comprehensive search process to attract the best talent for your business. We can draw upon our large pool of candidates as well as online job portals, social media and head-hunting.
6. OUR CANDIDATE SHORT-LISTS
We present our short-list of candidates and the interview agenda. Remember that we insist on meeting all provisionally short-listed candidates in person to ensure a perfect fit.
7. FEEDBACK MANAGEMENT
We manage the feedback process between your organisation and the interviewed candidates. We accurately ascertain how confident candidates feel after the interview process.
8. NEGOTIATING ON CLIENTS’ BEHALF
We offer and negotiate the appointment with the successful candidate(s) allowing you to focus on their starting date and the beginning of their career at your organisation.
9. THOROUGH AFTER-CARE SUPPORT

10 WAYS WE WORK DIFFERENTLY WITH OUR CANDIDATES
1. WE’RE FULLY IMMERSED IN THE LOCAL JOB MARKET

We always like to put a face to a name and insist on meeting all our candidates in person. This in-person approach is the absolute foundation of our highly engaged approach with local candidates.
3. UNCOVERING TRUE CANDIDATE STRENGTHS
Noting formal qualifications and employment history is just one part of building a picture of our candidates’ skill-sets. We deep dive into their talents to build a full understanding of their strengths.
4. WE CREATE A PERSONAL PROFILE FOR EACH CANDIDATE
We create each candidate a personal profile highlighting their achievements, skills and other factors including personality. This profile can then be used to supplement their CV.

We want to give all our registered candidates reassurance that we are continuously working to promote them to local businesses, as well as ensuring we are always up-to-date on their job hunt.
6. INTERVIEW COACHING TIPS

7. COMMUNICATION & TRANSPARENCY
We never leave any of our candidates in the dark and work hard to keep them fully up-to-date at all times with the progress of their applications and any vital client feedback.
8. SPECIALISED CONSULTANTS
Many of our consultants have built high levels of specialised expertises. As such, we can engage with candidates on a level of detail and understanding absent from many other recruitment agencies.
9. THOROUGH CANDIDATE AFTER-CARE SUPPORT
Once one of our candidates is successful in securing a new position, we touch base at a series of set points to help ensure the smoothest possible start to their new employment.

We always ask for feedback form our candidates as part of our commitment to continuous improvement.
