Frequently asked questions
We specialize in Executive Search, Professional Search, and Outsourced Talent Acquisition (OTA), helping companies secure top talent through a structured and hands-on search process.
Unlike large agencies, we take a boutique approach—every search is tailored, discreet, and highly targeted. Clients work directly with the founder and experienced consultants for a more personal and strategic hiring process.
No, we work exclusively on retained search mandates. This ensures a fully committed, structured search process rather than a volume-driven approach.
Yes. We post select job opportunities, but many of our searches are exclusive and confidential. Candidates can submit their resume to be considered for upcoming roles.
Executive Search is for senior leadership and highly specialized roles, requiring a discreet, research-driven approach. Candidates are often not actively looking, so we conduct targeted headhunting and deep market analysis.
Professional Search focuses on mid-level specialists and professionals, using a structured but more efficient process to find the right talent. Both approaches ensure quality hires, but Executive Search is more tailored, with longer timelines and deeper market engagement.
We place both specialist and leadership roles – from C-level executives to sales and function-specific experts. Thanks to broad experience, we work across industries and tailor every search to the client’s specific needs.
Our approach is structured and practical.
We start with a clear profile, analyze the market, and approach relevant candidates directly. Only those who fit both professionally and culturally are introduced.
We work exclusively on retained search mandates – ensuring mutual commitment.
The fee is split into two parts: an initial engagement fee and a final payment upon successful placement.
OTA is the right solution when in-house recruiting reaches its limits – for example, during growth phases, capacity gaps or interim needs. We step in and take over operational recruiting tasks – on an hourly, daily or project basis, fully integrated into your company.
The session is a 45-minute video call where we discuss your current job situation, refine your resume and LinkedIn profile, and prepare for interviews.
We also provide insights into the Swiss job market to help you position yourself effectively.
Career Coaching is for any professional looking for their next role—whether you’re relocating to Switzerland, transitioning industries, or need guidance on your application strategy. The session is fully tailored to your career needs.
Browse our current job openings and apply directly through the listing. If your profile matches the role, we’ll reach out to discuss the next steps. We only post positions where we are directly involved in the hiring process.
Yes! Even if there’s no immediate match, we encourage candidates to submit their resume. We frequently work on exclusive roles that may not be publicly listed. If a suitable opportunity arises, we’ll get in touch.
