Update for fire service recruitment in Australia and New Zealand

Hi guys! Brent here with a firefighter recruitment 2024 update for you. This recruitment update is a living update as I’m writing this on the first day of the year.

It’s been a while since my last update and I am happy to announce that it looks like fire service recruitment is returning back to normal this year. Hopefully, we’ll see stable roll outs of recruitment dates in the months ahead.

After becoming a Firefighter, I developed a massive interest in the Fire Services Recruitment and Selection Processes. I've been in the fire service working since 2007 to learn everything about how Fire Services Recruitment works. I've tested and refined proven methods to help people get the edge over the competition. Today, over 300 of my former students are living their Firefighter dream.
