CELEBRATING 8 YEARS OF NETBOX RECRUITMENT

Posted on 27th September 2023

We’re thrilled to be celebrating our 8th birthday! Over the years we’ve placed more than a thousand candidates into roles across Kent and the South East generating hundreds of reviews along the way. During this period we’ve also learnt some really important lessons... some that apply to the service we offer and others that apply to any other local business just as much as our own. We thought it would be fitting to highlight our 8 core principles for success for our last eight years.

YOUR TEAM IS EVERYTHING

We’ve always been committed to creating great fits between candidates and employers, but this is also something we prioritise internally. A number of our team have been with Netbox for many years and have really become the face of our brand for businesses across Kent and the South East.

THE PERSONAL TOUCH COUNTS

By taking the time to meet our candidates in person we’re able to really get to know their unique skill-sets and determine who we’re proud to take forward and represent. This gives our clients so much reassurance that those short-listed for interview are already sure to be a strong match.

GETTING TO KNOW OUR CLIENTS

We’ve also found that it pays to work really closely with our clients. We’re able to go far beyond creating a simple job description. We can see how each vacancy ties into our clients’ wider growth plans, their company structure, working culture and team dynamics.

LOCAL KNOWLEDGE MATTERS

By maintaining a focus in the South East, we’re able to really leverage our expertise in that area. We’ve found this to be vital in keeping our finger on the pulse of localised areas of hiring activity, areas of investment and businesses growth and travelling infrastructure.

NO INDUSTRY STAYS STILL

From the latest technology including and the continuing momentum behind artificial intelligence, through to the prevalence of remote, hybrid and flexible working - we’ve seen so much change across the recruitment landscape. For agencies like us, and for hiring businesses, it’s so vital to stay at the forefront of change and innovation.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ON-BOARDING

A robust onboarding strategy is more important than ever. That’s why we pro-actively work with our clients to shape on-boarding structures that extend far into each new employee’s appointment. Having a clear, long-term on-boarding plan can boost talent retention, candidate performance, as well as business transparency and team communication.

GETTING THE RIGHT CULTURAL FIT

We’re amazed how many businesses and recruitment agencies fail to fully take this on board. Technically proficient employees that are a bad cultural fit can do untold damage to team morale and work-flow structures. By getting this right, you’ll set the groundwork for effective long-term hires.

CLARITY OF VISION AND MISSION

By sticking so closely to our founding principles, we’ve realised how crucial this can be as a guiding focal point. Our key mission has always centred around counteracting the shortcomings of the wider recruitment industry. It’s this vision that shapes many of our approaches and has earned us so many wonderful reviews
