Recruitment Agents
Employment Services in Switzerland
When placing temporary workers or contractors in Switzerland, complicated rules and regulations govern the way in which these workers are employed.
Swissroll holds the required FEDERAL and CANTONAL licenses. We thus have the authorisations to manage and place specialized employees and temporary or fixed term workers with both Swiss and international companies.
Contracting Process through a Swiss partner company.
- The Swiss client company requires a specialised employee and asks a Swiss partner agency to identify an appropriate and qualified person for the desired function.
- The Swiss SECO approved recruitment agent, must then contact another Swiss agent, who also has the required SECO labour leasing licenses, who can then contact a foreign agent.
- The employee selected by the client company is hired by the partner agency (for example Swissroll) and is leased to the client company.
- Swissroll and the second agency sign a contract for this hire and fix the fees for the support provided.
- Once the employee has submitted his or her time card and it has been approved by the customer, Swissroll will invoice the customer.
- The salary of the contracting party is paid by the Swiss agent partner on the basis of deferred hours.
