Why Hire Local Talent in Switzerland?
Building Trust
Over 60% of Swiss companies prefer to work with businesses that have a localised presence. A local team builds credibility, removes language barriers, and shows long-term commitment to the market.
Growing Revenue
Hiring professionals with local knowledge allows you to tap into established networks, navigate complex buying processes, and spot new opportunities ahead of your competitors.
Retaining Relationships
With in-country support and service engineers, you can respond quickly to issues, build trust through aftercare, and create strong customer relationships that drive repeat business.

How our retingency approach addresses recruitment challenges:
Upfront Costs
Expanding in Switzerland often requires a specialist recruiter, but traditional retained models ask for upfront costs before results. With our Retingency service, you get all the benefits of a retained search (dedicated account manager, headhunting, strategy) but only pay when we deliver a successful placement.
No financial risk. No compromise on quality.
Lack of Candidate Insights
When hiring in a new country like Switzerland, guessing isn’t an option. That’s why we include behavioural assessments in our process at no extra cost. It gives you deeper insight into how a candidate thinks and works, helping you avoid costly mis-hires and make better decisions, backed by data, not just CVs.
Continuity
Many contingency recruiters focus on volume, not value, especially across borders. We take a different approach. With Retingency, you get a dedicated account manager and a team who have a deep understanding of your industry and goals. We’ll align closely with your needs and deliver culturally and commercially suitable candidates across Switzerland.

FAQs
We recruit for permanent positions across engineering and technical sales. From Sales Engineers and Product Managers to General Managers and Applications Specialists. We support companies across sectors like automation, electronics, scientific equipment, and industrial machinery.
Yes. We support companies hiring throughout Switzerland, including key areas like Zurich, Geneva, Lausanne, Basel, and Bern, as well as smaller towns and cantons. We also help businesses operating near the French, German, or Italian borders that need access to a broader talent pool.
Absolutely. Many professionals live just across the border in France, Germany, or Italy and regularly commute to Swiss-based roles. As long as they live within commutable distance and meet work eligibility requirements, they can be great hires.
A cross-border worker lives in a neighbouring country but travels into Switzerland for work — often daily or several times per week. These professionals are common in Switzerland and can be hired as long as they have the correct permits and live within a reasonable travel distance of your office. Read more about cross border working in Switzerland here.
We take location into account alongside experience and skills. If someone lives in a neighbouring country, we check their commuting distance, travel time, and eligibility to work in Switzerland before recommending them.
Yes, to a degree. Cross-border staff can usually work remotely up to 40% of the time from their home country without affecting their employment status — although this varies slightly depending on location and the country they live in.
No. We combine local market knowledge with a pan-European reach. This means you get access to both Swiss-based professionals and high-performing talent across nearby regions who are open to relocating or commuting.
We offer both — and even a hybrid model called Retingency, which combines the structure of retained search with the flexibility of contingency recruitment. It gives you commitment and results, without being locked in long-term.
Yes. We provide instant salary benchmarking to help you set competitive, accurate salary ranges — whether you’re hiring in Zurich, Geneva, or need to understand cross-border salary expectations in areas near the French or German borders. You can read more about our Salary Benchmarking services here.
Yes — we stay up to date with local hiring practices, documentation requirements, and market expectations. While we’re not a legal provider, we help guide you through the essentials and flag anything that may need specialist input.
We support companies across a range of sectors, including industrial automation, electronics, test and measurement, process control, flow and pressure technologies, and scientific instrumentation. You can see all of the industries we recruit for here.
