The search for a job in Zurich can be a full time job in itself. However, there are ways to make the process easier, including registering with a recruitment agency. Employment agencies in Zurich specialise in placing candidates in roles across a range of industries and can help you secure your next dream role.

How do you register with job agencies?

The process of registering with a job agency in Zurich will vary from agency to agency, but usually you will submit an initial enquiry online. You may then be invited to meet with a recruitment consultant for an interview. During this meeting you will have the chance to talk about your CV and career goals. It’s not only skills and experience that make an impression;, this is also an opportunity for your consultant to get a sense of your personality and what roles and company cultures may suit you best.

Don’t be afraid to register with a few job recruitment agencies in Zurich or elsewhere. By placing your CV in front of as many job agencies as possible, you’ll increase your chances!

Finding the perfect role

Once you’re registered with a Zurich job agency, you’ll be considered for jobs that fit your skills and preferences. It’s not uncommon for Zurich employment agencies to ask you to complete skills testing – these online tests will assess relevant skills such as your touch-typing speed and Microsoft Office proficiency.

Should your consultant wish to put you forward for a role, they will check with you to ensure you wish to be considered for the position. Generally a shortlist of candidates is shared with the company seeking to hire, and they will make the decision to invite a selection of people to interview.

The perks of using a recruitment agency in your job hunt

Your consultant will support you in every stage of your job hunt. The collaborative nature of securing work through a job agency will save you time and may also expand your professional horizons as you could be considered for roles you wouldn’t have otherwise heard about.

Many job agencies also offer interview training, CV advice and professional development opportunities to candidates, all at no cost.

Some Zurich recruitment agencies offer assistance with securing temp roles as well as permanent contracts. Temping in Zurich can be a great way of gaining confidence and experience, making ends meet while hunting for a permanent role, or working flexibly alongside other commitments. There are both specialist temp recruitment agencies in Zurich, as well as industry-specific agencies in Zurich that cover both temporary and permanent placements.

Jess started at Tiger in February 2020, after being referred by a friend. She initially worked as PA to our MD, Rebecca, then in the marketing team, before finding her calling as a recruiter in 2021. Ever since, she has thrived in the West End temporary team, still working closely with Rebecca.

What makes you Fiercely Distinctive?

Having started my career as a temp, I know firsthand what it’s like to work in the temporary market, which gives me added insight and empathy towards candidates, as well as an appreciation for what our clients are looking for. In the office, I’m also the go-to person for any restaurant recommendations!
