BioTalent expands into Switzerland: A milestone in international growth

BioTalent is thrilled to announce its official license to trade in Switzerland, marking an exciting new chapter in our journey of international expansion. This milestone underscores our commitment to delivering world-class recruitment solutions across borders and supporting the growth of our clients and candidates within the Life Sciences industry.

Switzerland has long been a hub for innovation in Life Sciences, and our presence here will enable us to play a pivotal role in connecting exceptional talent with pioneering organisations. With two dedicated representatives based in Zug, Arne Huyghelier and Dominic Pritchard, BioTalent is poised to drive growth and deliver unparalleled recruitment services in the region.

A comprehensive range of services

BioTalent’s Swiss operations will offer a full suite of services, including:

  • Labour leasing: Providing flexible and compliant workforce solutions tailored to the unique needs of the Swiss market.

  • Permanent recruitment solutions: Offering a variety of models to suit diverse hiring strategies:

  • Accelerator: A bespoke RPO (Recruitment Process Outsourcing) offering that delivers specialist talent with cost savings of over 40% compared to traditional contingent staffing.

  • Subscription: A strategic partnership model designed for ongoing hiring needs. Clients pay a fixed monthly fee for consistent recruitment support, ensuring cost predictability and deeper integration with hiring strategies. This innovative model, spearheaded by James Cox, CEO of BioTalent, combines the flexibility of contingent hiring with the commitment and exclusivity of RPO.

  • Contingent: Our traditional success-based recruitment service, ideal for specific hiring needs. While contingent remains a popular choice, it is less structured and often lacks the mutual commitment of other models.

  • Retained: Guaranteed delivery for niche, confidential, and specialist roles, offering a thorough and risk-free hiring process.

  • Consulting & project-based solutions: Leveraging our Agile consulting model, we provide tailored, project-focused solutions to address your most pressing business needs. Our network of specialised professionals offers on-demand expertise, while our dedicated project management ensures seamless delivery and compliance with local and international regulations. By aligning talent, technology, and proven methodologies, we help you achieve impactful outcomes - on time and within budget
