New Firetail Job Board

Thursday, December 22nd, 2011

We’re very pleased to announce the launch of the Firetail Job Board. We’re not recruiters, but we built it because our clients were telling us how hard and expensive it is to reach great people. It’s available at http://jobs.firetail.co.uk and on twitter and facebook. We’ll also feature ads in future briefings. Job ads will cost just £99+VAT in the New Year, but will be free to new and existing newsletter subscribers as we launch. If you want to place a free ad, email Calum at jobboard@firetail.co.uk. Please spread the word! READ MORE
