The global EMS market has reported record growth in recent years and is expected to grow due to the increasing enrichment of previously mechanical components with electronics/electronic assemblies. We were able to acquire extensive know-how of the EMS market through close collaboration with one of the largest EMS service providers with more than 4’000 employees worldwide.

The way to networked production systems is not least based on sensors and measuring devices.

In industrial measurement technology, we have the honour of working for a leading international group of companies headquartered in Switzerland, a large OEM supplier for springs and stamped parts, and a technology group headquartered in Germany with a global competence centre located in Switzerland. Thus, we can look back on many years of experience in the selection of managers in the areas of sensor and measurement technology, such as Country Heads, Head of Division, Head of Production or Head of Quality Management.

We are proud to count amongst our customers a global tool manufacturer based in Eastern Switzerland or a well-known manufacturing company specialising in bond tools.

The fourth industrial revolution is in full swing, and industries are changing rapidly as a result of the convergence of the digital and physical worlds.

The health care system in Switzerland is in a state of radical change. The increasing complexity correlating with state-of-the-art medicine, consolidation pressure, principles such as “outpatient care over inpatient care”, the much-debated medical tariffs and the digitization, which is paving the way to e-health: all of these trends increasingly give rise to the transformation of the healthcare sector into a highly technological and extremely competitive industry. Since our decision to delve deeper into the complexity of the healthcare system, we have experienced a sharp increase in executive mandates in the healthcare sector. To our largest and most renowned clients, we can count two leading university hospitals in Switzerland, several middle-sized cantonal hospitals as well as several regional smaller hospital, which ensure the important primary care. In addition to recruiting for the hospital segment, we also have the honour of working for a renowned rehabilitation centre, for university psychiatric services and for recognised institutions in (long-term) care. Our track record covers all three pillars in the hospital including successful recruitment in the medical, nursing and business departments. The following examples are representative of our medical recruitment expertise: Head of Internal Medicine Department, Chief Physician positions in rehabilitation, Deputy Chief Physician Radiology and a Chief Physician in Obstetrics & Prenatal Diagnosis. With regard to influential nursing care functions, we can draw upon extensive experience from previous recruitment successes, including the Head of Nursing Care & Medical-Technical- & Therapeutic Care of an innovative, large outpatient clinic; business-oriented managers in a long-term care facility; and the Head Nursing Department of a large acute hospital. Besides the recruitment of hospital directors and board members, we have demonstrated success in filling business-oriented functions such as CFOs, COOs and Department Heads etc.

The Swiss biotech and medical technology sectors continue to expand. Experts often attribute increasing investments in research and development to be the basis for the sustained growth. The Swiss biotech industry consists mainly of small to medium-sized organisations including our clients such as a newly created competence centre for translational medicine and an international market leader highly contributing to the medical cluster of the Bern. Successful managers in these competitive industries have to master the balancing act between technical expertise and an economic mindset with regard to their business. This also applies to the executives that we have been able to win over for our clients, such as CEO, Chief Business Officer, Director of Sales and the Head BU Medical.

After several strong economic years, the Swiss construction industry is now facing new challenges. In addition to changing needs in residential construction, demographic changes and economic uncertainties, the industry is preparing for the transformation brought about by digitisation. Building information modelling, networked building technology, virtual planning and simulations all in the context of stronger demands concerning ecological construction and sustainable building materials, offer the construction industry opportunities to be seized. Our clients range from medium-sized carpentry companies over regional building technology companies to one of the largest construction companies in the country with several thousand employees.

The accelerated digitalization triggered by the coronavirus at the beginning of 2020 will provide the Swiss IT and telecommunications industry (ICT) with additional momentum. The digitalization offensive in every industry holds massive potential for the lCT sector to become a driver of future growth. In order to be among the front runners in this dynamic and competitive environment, the most diverse members of the ICT cluster compete for attention of strong C-level managers.

On account of our regular cooperation with public administration (federal offices, cantonal offices, municipalities and also associations), we understand the requirements with regard to diplomatic sensitivity and the understanding of political processes that are placed on management positions in the public sector. Having successfully filled positions such as Vice Directors, members of the Management Board, Cantonal Secretaries and Deputy General Secretaries, we can draw on a wealth of experience in executive search.
