Does this sound familiar?

You send out applications, but you hardly ever get a response.

You have a strong profile, but it doesn't translate into opportunities.

You feel like you’re doing everything right… with no result.

You end up not sure you understand how the Swiss market actually works.

You see other people landing jobs—but not you.

It’s probably not you. It’s just the way the market works—something few people really understand.

The Swiss market

A market based on trust

The Swiss market. A trust-based market.Switzerland has one of the most trust-based job markets in the world. Between 70 and 80% of positions are filled through referrals, internal networks, and direct approaches.

25%

Visible positions. That's where everyone is competing.

75%

Hidden posts. Accessible to those who know the rules.

While you're tweaking your resume, you're focusing on the 20% that's visible.
