Boutique size. Institutional standards.
An independent Data-Driven HR Research & Advisory firm based in Geneva, for the appointments that are difficult, sensitive or decisive, in Switzerland and internationally.
The map exists to find someone.
- IndependenceNo bench to place, no volume targets. Sometimes our advice is: don’t open this search yet.
- Direct involvementThe partner who takes the brief runs the search through to onboarding.
- SpecialisationFour sectors, from Geneva, across Switzerland and internationally. We know who matters before a mandate exists.
- Reading the marketEvery search produces intelligence. We work it and hand it back to you.
- ConfidentialityNo advertising. No candidate is presented without their consent.
- RigourA written brief. A map before the approach. References before any shortlist.
The partners
Three partners. Fifteen years filling the roles the market doesn’t.
Niche search from Geneva, with talent pools across Europe. You deal with the people who run the search, not the people who sell it.
- Private banking · GenevaHead of Database Administration, confidential mandate. Unadvertised role; mapping of the banking and technology pool, name-by-name direct approach, short shortlist presented.
- Cybersecurity · SwitzerlandHard-to-find specialist, a few dozen comparable profiles in the country. Market mapping, direct approach without advertising, references before any presentation.
- Financial Services · GenevaFront Office Business Analyst. Brief built with business and IT teams, compensation tested against the market, search run by a partner through to the start date.
- Industry · German-speaking SwitzerlandSeven positions opened at once by a single manufacturer, seven distinct technical scopes (cybersecurity, infrastructure, SAP, among others). Searches run in parallel on a tight timeline, several appointments made.
- Watchmaking · GenevaIT business continuity project manager and disaster recovery (DRP) expert for a watch manufacture. Strictly local profiles required, in an already narrow market: direct and confidential approach within the Geneva basin, references before presentation.
President · Founding partner
We created Implecio for a simple reason: critical hires deserve better than a volume method.
Every mandate is run by a partner, from the brief to the start date. We say no when a search should not be opened. And we hand back what the market teaches us, because that information belongs to you.
It is what we would expect from a firm if we were in your position.
