About the Role

For over 25 years, we have supported companies across six countries with innovative staffing and recruitment solutions, all focused on professionals early in their careers. Our Zurich office operates like a start-up, with a close-knit team of around 10 colleagues supporting over 50 consultants on assignment each month across the region. What sets us apart is our strong company culture and our dedication to client satisfaction, which drives us to go further every day.

As we continue to grow in German-speaking Switzerland, we're looking for a Sales Team Manager to join us.
