Task of the recruiter

In recruitment, the recruiter receives an order from a company to look for employees for a specific position. The recruiter recruits suitable talent and proposes them to the company. After a successful interview between the company and the talent, an employment contract is concluded.

This results in a win-win situation for both parties: the recruiter takes over the time-consuming recruitment process for the company. At the same time, the talent can save themselves the trouble of looking for a job and writing applications. All this is taken care of by the recruiter, who acts in a triangular relationship.

Candidate support

When looking for a new job with the help of a recruitment agency, talents can choose between two options: On the one hand, they can consult a list of all vacancies on the recruiter's website. If they find a job that matches their expectations, they can apply for it online and in short form. The recruiter then takes over the application process for them and submits the required documents to the relevant company. On the other hand, talents also have the option of submitting a spontaneous application to the recruiter independently of a specific job. In this case, the recruiter will search for a suitable position for them and propose it to the company.

Advantages from a talent perspective

  • Less time and effort.
    By working with a recruiter, the talent can save themselves the time-consuming job search and writing applications. Right from the start, the recruiter adds them to their database and matches their candidate profile with eligible vacancies. If there is a match, the recruiter proposes the talent to the company.
  • More job opportunities
    Recruiters know the job market inside out and maintain contacts in a wide range of industries. Thanks to their large professional network, they can also find jobs that are not publicly advertised. In addition, recruitment agencies operate several branches and thus gain knowledge of jobs throughout Switzerland.
  • Simplified application process
    Recruiters support their talents before, during and after the entire application process. They establish direct contact with companies and provide advice to the talents until a suitable job is found.
  • Consideration of individual requirements
    Recruiters create an individual profile together with the talent. Among other things, it is noted which skills and professional experience the talent brings with him and whether he is looking for a full-time position, a part-time job or an interim solution. In this way, jobs can be found that fully meet the talent's requirements.
  • Professional security
    Employment through a recruitment agency guarantees social security. In particular, the Collective Labour Agreement for Staff Leasing sets a minimum wage and guarantees the payment of social benefits.

Business support

To search for employees, companies can turn to a recruitment agency with the task of finding suitable employees for them. For this purpose, the requirements that the company places on the applicant are defined. The recruiter then starts looking for suitable talent. He finds them either in his own applicant pool or by means of a job advertisement on his website. The recruiter then proposes the talent to the company. The following advantages arise for companies through personnel placement:

  • Less time and effort By working with a recruitment agency, the company can save itself the time-consuming search and recruitment of new employees. Because of the outsourcing of this task, the company only gets those talents suggested who exactly fit the position.

  • Greater diversity
    Due to its locations throughout Switzerland, the recruiter has a broad pool of applicants at its disposal. This enables him to find and place employees who are tailored to the company.

  • Fast supply of personnel
    Companies often need specialists who are available quickly. Because of their proven experience in recruiting and their extensive network, recruiters quickly find the experts the company is looking for.

  • Professional advice
    Through his know-how, the recruiter provides the company with all the necessary information regarding the required form and content of the contracts.
