Canton-specific requirements

Forms, timelines, language, and filing steps vary across Switzerland.

Repetitive document work

Candidate, employer, salary, and role details are copied into forms, checklists, and emails.

Hard-to-track status

HR, Legal, managers, candidates, and vendors often work from different updates.

Risk appears late

Quota, salary alignment, social security, tax withholding, and posting risks are often found after the process has already started.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Can we hire a non-EU employee in Switzerland?

Yes, but Swiss work permits for non-EU/EFTA nationals are restrictive. Employers usually need to show that the candidate is a qualified specialist or manager, that no suitable Swiss or EU/EFTA candidate was available, that salary and working conditions meet local standards, and that quota is available. The application is normally filed by the employer with the cantonal authority and may require federal approval from SEM before the employee can start work.
