“To earn recognition as a Strong Performer position is a terrific achievement for Firstbird,” said Arnim Wahls, CEO for Firstbird. “It’s been a difficult year for companies and recruiting around the world, and we’re humbled to be recognized for our efforts in continuing to innovate and develop our employee referral solution for our customers so that they can overcome their recruiting challenges both now and in the future.”
Wahls adds, “As the new world of work starts to take shape following the pandemic, we want to make sure we are armed and ready with the best employee referral tool and service we can offer, so that we can provide our customers with ability to make employee referrals an integral part of their recruiting. We’re seeing a trend now where corporations, especially larger ones, are really seeing the benefits of referrals, and they are wanting and ready to scale their programs across the globe. We are ready for that, and intend to help them on every step of their journey, throughout 2021 and beyond.”
In the last 12 months, Firstbird has seen significant growth in its customer base, particularly in its enterprise segment in both European and global markets.

This trend is supported by the Fosway 9-Grid for Talent Acquisition for 2021, with Firstbird being fully dedicated to employee referrals.
Firstbird continues to invest into developing and strengthening its tool and services, consolidating its position as a global leader in the employee referral market.
