Critical Technologies: the functions no organisation can do without.
Cybersecurity, infrastructure and cloud, data and artificial intelligence, technology leadership. Markets where the country sometimes holds a few dozen comparable profiles.
The situation
A CISO, infrastructure architect or head of data position open for six months is almost never a sourcing problem: the profiles exist, they are simply all employed, approached every week, and they compare. Advertisements attract off-target applications; generalist recruiters cannot read a technical career. This market is worked through mapping, network and technical credibility in the conversation.
Roles we recruit
- Security: CISO, SOC managers, security architects, GRC experts, incident response specialists
- Infrastructure and cloud: heads of infrastructure, cloud architects, business continuity and disaster recovery experts
- Data and AI: heads of data, data engineers and architects, AI and analytics leads
- Leadership and projects: CIO / CTO, owners of critical applications (SAP, core systems), regulatory project managers
- Hard-to-find profiles: database administration, OT/industrial security, cryptography, niche expertise
Our approach
- A precise technical brief, written with the operational lead and not only with HR: stack, scope, the real level expected.
- Mapping of the pool across French- and German-speaking Switzerland, taking language, nationality or on-site requirements into account.
- Peer-to-peer direct approach, argued on the substance of the role before compensation.
- Technical assessment and references before presentation; we do not present a profile we could not defend.
- Parallel searches when several positions open at once, on a shared timeline.
Reading the market
In Switzerland, job advertisements are falling while graduate IT professions keep growing: demand is concentrating on qualified profiles. In cybersecurity, the spread within a single role exceeds CHF 50,000; that is the distance between an available profile and a rare one. Our market note for the quarter details these figures.
