A Week­end in Florence – New Coopers Refer­ral Program 

14. August 2017

Do you know anybody who is looking for a new job in IT or Engineering in Switzerland? Maybe as a System Engineer, Software Developer or Business Analyst? Let us know if you do, and you might soon be spending a weekend in Florence!

We will reward you for your personal recommendation with an overnight stay for two people in the exclusive Grand Hotel Minerva. This four-star hotel has a roof top swimming pool and is only a short walk away from the city center. Some rooms even have a view over the famous Florence Cathedral.

Sandro Pezzuto from the Coopers team has been to Florence many times and loves the city. Here are some of his tips for you:

Leather jackets, belts, bags, you name it Florence is one of the best places to buy leather goods. Instead of going to a high street store Sandro recommends going to one of the markets. For example, the market in front of the Basilica di San Lorenzo or in the Loggia del Mercato Nuovo.

Anyone who likes Art will want to go and see Botticelli's famous painting "The Birth of Venus" in the Uffizi Galleries. Often there is a long queue in front of the entrance, so Sandro recommends paying a little extra for a timed entrance to the galleries which lets you get in with priority.

Last but not least, head to the Café la Terrazza on the Placa della Repubblica 1 above the shop "la Rinascente" when you are exhausted from shopping and visiting museums. You can sip an Italian coffee whilst enjoying a great view over the old town. What more do you want?

Don't miss this opportunity of spending a lovely weekend in Florence and recommend someone you know for one of our open jobs. Send us an e-mail to office@coopers.ch and include the name and contact details of the person you recommend. If their profile fits with one of our current open positions and the person gets a permanent or short-term contract (at least 3 months), the weekend in Florence is all yours!

The Coopers Referral Program

As recruiters we are always exploring new ways of finding suitable candidates for our clients. On the one hand of course, the technical skills and experience must fit our client's requirements, on the other hand, the personality and mindset of the candidates is extremely important too. Referrals from people we trust are an excellent source. All current referral programs are published regularly on this blog.

Reward Conditions

The profile of the recommended person must match one of our current open positions on our website. Following the application process, the recommended person must receive a permanent or short-term contract. The duration of the short-term contract must be a minimum of three months. Please note that the referral program reward is handed out three months after the person started their job, independently of the contract length.

Choose a different reward

If you have just been to Florence and would prefer to receive a different reward for your recommendation, then you can choose one of these referral rewards.
