hire vetted candidates.
Research shows that a bad hire can cost employers anywhere between 1.5 and 4 times that employee’s annual salary, once all related expenses are taken into account.
This costs companies not only financially, but also through low productivity, replacement efforts and resources that could have been used elsewhere.
Find out how we help companies to avoid this negative outcome.
About Us
Derisked Hiring
At Journo Box, we derisk your hiring, so you can focus on growing your business. We’ll bring you candidates with:
- Proven collections of projects
- Real industry experience
- The ability to implement feedback
- Evidence of soft skills
“candidates with relevant work experience tend to transition more smoothly into the workplace.”
What do you get?
Let Journo Box bridge the gap between screening and hiring, so you can access professionals with the experience to help you grow your company.
We produce candidates who know how to think independently and deliver real results. Every candidate we bring you has the ability to:
- Communicate clearly
- Deliver a brief on a deadline
- Stay resilient and follow through
If your team is cautious about early-career hires, Journo Box offers a practical way to rely more on evidence and less on guesswork.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this just for media or journalism grads?
No. The storytelling and portfolio framework is designed to work for any discipline – tech, law, humanities, politics, healthcare, engineering, you name it. The core idea is: show, don’t just tell.
Can I join while I’m still at uni?
Yes. Many students start in their final year so they graduate with a portfolio ready, not just a degree and panic.
How intense is the workload?
Expect it to feel like a part‑time job. You’ll be building something real – your future employers will be able to see it.
What if I have literally nothing to show?
That’s exactly what the 4–6 months are for. We help you turn your existing experiences into structured projects, and then build new pieces through the programme.
Is this guaranteed to get me a job?
No one can honestly guarantee that. What Journo Box gives you is a much stronger signal in a crowded market: visible work, a sharper story and people in your corner.
