Every year we look back to see what most interested our readers. Below you’ll find our top 5 most read posts of 2018.

But first, with Christmas upon us, we wanted to say thanks again for your custom and support. It’s been a great year for Firehead as we’ve been able to significantly expand our offering in areas that complement our core recruitment services.

Firehead’s Christmas gift to readers

To say thank you, and to get our new services out there, we are giving away an extra 50% in our ‘Refer a friend’ scheme. That’s a whopping €750 that could be yours!

Until the end of January 2019, anyone who recommends Firehead’s recruitment services to their employer or hiring manager will receive the extra referral bonus if it results in our placing a candidate.

So, if you’re aware of a business that is in need of the top-notch digital communications staffing we provide across Europe, then please share the contact details with us – and potentially earn yourself a nice New Year thank-you bonus. We also offer training and bespoke solutions to our clients.

To make a referral to Firehead, and read our T&Cs for the bonus scheme, please visit our Refer a friend page. We look forward to hearing from you!
