Recruitment Services and Active Sourcing
Our mission in recruitment is to achieve the perfect match between people and companies.
In many industries today, it is incredibly difficult to find employees, let alone those who match the job profile in every respect and then stay with the company in the long term because the job exactly matches their expectations. The buzzword «skills shortage» is regularly bandied about in the press. Nevertheless, the current labor market situation is actually very good for employers. However, if companies want to successfully recruit staff and avoid staff shortages, they need to get creative. This includes, among other things, optimizing recruitment with Active Sourcing.
A company can do active sourcing itself, but many human resources departments are not set up accordingly and do not have the necessary resources to do Active Sourcing professionally. This is where we come in. We have years of experience in recruitment, an extensive network of relevant contacts and a large talent pool that we actively manage.
We do not limit ourselves to searching for employees for permanent positions but also specialize in personnel for temporary positions and project work. We use our large network of relevant contacts, search talent platforms for you, both our own and external ones, and use the option of referral sourcing, for example by searching your employees' contacts for suitable matches or launching an «employee referral program». We are also present at job and student fairs and active on social media, such as LinkedIn and Instagram.
As part of Active Sourcing and the corresponding measures, we also use Employer Branding to ensure that your company and its advantages are presented in the right light, as a good corporate image is extremely important for successful recruitment in the short and long term.
We also offer our customers the option of outsourcing payrolling and administrative work to us: we take care of payroll processing, social security, work permits and employee support for you.
Recruitment agency for all situations
Whether you are looking for a permanent position or temporary project work - we are looking for you.
We use our many years of experience for the targeted advertising of your permanent or temporary position on all relevant channels. We actively search on our most demonstrably successful search channels, such as. LinkedIn and Instagram. We also advertise the position on our own job platform. This gives you the additional benefit of our large, actively managed talent pool, where talented candidates can enter their detailed profile when searching.
We maintain a very large network of relevant contacts, which we use to find talent. Due to our company history, we specialize in the IT industry and companies in the life sciences sector, but we are also happy to accept assignments from other industries.
With us, you don't talk to a virtual assistant or chatbot, but always directly to one of our three recruitment experts.
We find the ideal cast
Modern people are not always looking for permanent employment.
Permanent position
For a permanent position, we not only clarify for you whether the potential employee has the right skills and personality to match the corporate culture, but also take a very close look at plans for future career development.
Temporary position
Flexibility is the magic word for many young people today. They alternate between months spent traveling and months spent earning money. A temporary position is ideal. Here, the right skills are at the forefront of the search.
project work
More and more people today appreciate variety. Hardly anyone works in the same job from training to retirement, and with the same employer. Projects offer exciting challenges and new knowledge. Top motivation for many.
Active Sourcing
Active sourcing also reaches employees who are not actively looking for a job.
Active Sourcing actively searches the entire candidate market. This is necessary in order to recruit employees with the right skills and the right personality for the corporate culture in a timely manner in times of skills shortages.
Various measures that are carried out in parallel together bring the desired success. This is because the activities reach the entire group of people who could be an ideal fit for a position and not just those who are currently actively looking for a new position.
The so-called passive candidate market comprises potential employees who are still in employment but who nevertheless occasionally check the job market for new challenges and career opportunities that could arise from a change of job.
The active candidate market consists of people who are currently actively responding to job advertisements. It is not relevant whether they are still employed or not.
With our professional and well-positioned active sourcing strategy, you can massively reduce the cost-intensive recruitment time because you can reach many more potential employees and also use our talent pool, which greatly increases your chances of a quick and successful match.
Active sourcing therefore not only considerably reduces the time required for recruitment, but also relieves your HR team, which gains the necessary resources for the important assessment of potential employees through outsourcing.
Things to know about Active Sourcing
Active sourcing turns the recruitment process on its head.
Active Sourcing is nothing new
The potential employee does not apply in response to a job advertisement, but the company actively approaches an employee with the right qualities and applies with a specific job offer.
This active sourcing approach of approaching potential employees directly is not a new recruitment trend. Even before the age of digitalization and social media, HR managers at companies were actively looking for talent. Back then, this was done at relevant trade fairs where companies presented themselves, university graduates' lists were scoured for interesting potential employees or so-called headhunters were commissioned to search for highly qualified and hard-to-find employees. Unlike back then, however, active sourcing is not only used today in the search for top managers and highly qualified employees.
Employer branding is part of Active Sourcing
Professional active sourcing also includes employer branding. The activities are therefore not only aimed at directly recruiting new employees for a company, but also at positioning the company in the relevant environment in the long term in such a way that the company name becomes the focus of interest for potential employees and remains in their minds as an exciting employer. This increases the chance that potential employees will speak positively about the company in their circles and that they will actively look for vacancies at the company at a later date.
Executive Search
Targeted executive search is also one of our strengths. We search for the perfect candidates for management positions. Is it important to you that the interviews with your potential new managers take place on neutral ground? No problem at all. We can offer you the appropriate premises in the stylish Maison Davidoff, near the SBB railroad station, and arrange everything for you. Contact us for details!
Employer Branding
We show your company in the very best light!
Today, talented people looking for a new job no longer just look for job characteristics and requirements that match their expectations, wishes and future plans, but it is often just as important to them that the values, culture and public image of the company match their expectations. Particularly relevant topics can be, for example, sustainability in the company's activities, the women's quota or flexible working opportunities. Here we pay particular attention to efficient employer branding by highlighting all the advantages of your company. We do this not only in the advertisement or on social media, but especially in our personal discussions with potentially suitable candidates for your position.
