NetWatch OSINT Team Continues to Grow

The NetWatch research and analyst team continues to grow to meet client demand and rising instructions.

This month we welcomed Bethany Porter, Fina Evans & Jess Ainge (pictured below) to the team taking the total headcount to 45 – the highest it has been since the company was incepted in 2013.

The recruitment team are still working to bring in new faces, and hope to add to the team in the coming weeks – so if you are interested in a role at NetWatch now is a great time to send your CV and Cover Letter over to us at careers@netwatchglobal.com.

Having recently joined the team Fina told us how she is finding things so far:

So far my biggest impression has been the team itself; everyone is really friendly and happy to help if I need anything, which has made settling in so much easier! Rich’s training has been great too, and has made the analyst work (which could easily be quite overwhelming) really digestible.

In September the team will be joined by new University sandwich year interns Ellen Potts and Ebony Stevenson. We have been running the internship for a number of years now and are extremely proud that we still have six of our past interns working in the business full time, with several having now moved into management positions.

Leading recruitment is Helen Wakeman, who added “It’s been an extremely busy few months at NetWatch recruitment wise, in addition to adding numbers to the analyst team we’ve also recently completed several internal moves to implement a team structure that can easily handle more growth, and added several heads to the RPR team including a new manager. It’s an exciting time to be at NetWatch and with more recruitment underway I’m starting to worry that we’ll need a bigger office!”
