TECH FIRM FIREFISH RECOGNISED AT AWARDS CEREMONY

A company that supports 550 businesses with its state-of-the-art recruitment software platform has been named one of the top tech businesses in Scotland at a major industry event.

The 2021 Northern Tech Awards Top 100 recognises the fastest growing technology companies in the North of England, Scotland and Ireland.

Firefish Software is one of only five Scottish tech businesses to make it onto the shortlist of the 100 biggest tech success stories of the year. 

This is Firefish’s fifth consecutive year making the list and demonstrates the resilience of the Glasgow-based business which offers recruitment agencies a combined customer relationship management (CRM) and recruitment marketing platform. 

Firefish’s four fellow nominees from north of the border were digital services business MRM Global, Fintech company The ID Co, and software firms TVSquared and Odro. 

Wendy McDougall, Founder and CEO of Firefish Software (pictured), said: “Despite the turbulent times we’ve been living in, through a pandemic and recession, the Firefish team has shown incredible resilience.

“To make it into the top tier of these industry awards for five years running shows the strength of our business and the important role we play in the tech ecosystem.

“As the jobs market continues to run hot, with employers having to be ever more creative in recruiting staff, it’s essential that job vacancies attract the right candidates and that those candidates are well managed through the process.” 

This was the eighth consecutive year that advisory and investment firm GP Bullhound has run the awards to spotlight the tech ecosystem across Scotland, Ireland and the North of England.

To qualify for entry to the Top 100, firms must have at least three years of revenue growth with a minimum revenue level of £500k in 2018.
