Your go-live date is set, but your team is not? Our people close the gap.

Whether it is a cloud migration, an AI initiative or a bottleneck in operations: our specialized IT recruiters bring the right IT contractors to your projects across Switzerland.

Why IT leaders work with us

Locally rooted

Zurich is our IT hub, complemented by teams in Basel and Bern. It is where we host our fondue evenings every winter.

Flexible models

From a single contractor to an entire project team: together, we find the right engagement model, whether temporary staffing, freelance contracting or payrolling.

Legally compliant & ISO

Proper handling of temporary staffing, freelance contracting and payrolling under Swiss law, including the issue of false self-employment. Our processes are ISO 9001 certified.

Google rating

5.0 stars from more than 200 reviews by clients and candidates who have worked with us.

A tech stack is not a job profile.

Searching by keywords alone finds resumes, but not necessarily the person who moves your project forward.
Because we support many IT projects, we often see where things get stuck before they do.

Before we propose candidates, we clarify with you which phase your project is in and what experience it really needs. And for how long.

Market knowledge instead of guesswork
We give you an honest assessment of availability, realistic hourly rates and the legally sound contract type for your needs.

Plan, build, run: we sup­port the entire life­cycle of your IT

Plan

Your reality: Before an initiative starts, architecture, requirements and budget need to be in place. Planning without experience costs you in delays later.

How we support you: We find business analysts, solution and enterprise architects, project managers and requirements engineers who set up your initiative properly.

Your advantage: Your project starts with a plan that holds.

Build

Your reality: In delivery, every sprint counts. New features, cloud migrations and integrations all compete for the same developers.

How we support you: We bring software engineers, cloud and DevOps engineers, data & AI engineers (e.g. machine learning, GenAI) and test engineers to your projects.

Your advantage: Your roadmap stays on track without your core team having to neglect operations.

Run

Your reality: After go-live, everyday business begins: operations, support and further development. This is often where people are missing, because the project team has already moved on to the next initiative.

How we support you: We find system engineers, application managers, site reliability engineers and specialists for 2nd and 3rd level support.

Your advantage: Your systems run reliably, and your project team stays free for the next initiative.

IT Secur­ity across all phases

Your reality: Requirements such as the revised Swiss Data Protection Act (nFADP) or industry standards increase the pressure on your security teams. At the same time, experienced security specialists are hard to find.

How we support you: We place security engineers, security architects, IAM specialists and ISMS professionals for projects such as audits, ISO 27001 certifications or setting up a SOC.

Your advantage: You close the gaps in your team before they become gaps in your systems.
