Recruitment in Switzerland

Global Mind Search Switzerland has been active since 2021 in the country’s two major regions: French-speaking (Romandie) and German-speaking (Swiss-German) areas. The company holds the necessary cantonal and federal authorizations required to operate as a private placement agency, ensuring full compliance with Swiss legal frameworks (LSE, OSE, LEg).

This institutional legitimacy forms the foundation of an ethical, respectful, and well-recognized practice. It allows us to provide reliable services to our clients, whether they are local SMEs, multinational corporations, foundations, or public and nonprofit sector organizations.

For Candidates

Career Assessments and Concrete Prospects

We also conduct professional assessments to help you reflect on your career path, key skills, aspirations, and development levers. These discussions are essential to define a realistic trajectory aligned with the Swiss market—known for its high standards, multilingualism, and skilled workforce.

Global Mind Search offers you personalized, confidential support tailored to your goals. Thanks to our direct approach, we can give you access to targeted, confidential, or strategic opportunities that are not visible through public channels.
