OUR SERVICES
Labour Leasing & Employer of Record (EOR)
Expand into Switzerland quickly and compliantly with our Labour Leasing/EOR service. As your legal Employer of Record, we hire your talent in Switzerland and handle all HR duties on your behalf. You face no entity setup or fixed costs – we take on all employment risks and administrative complexities for a truly hands-off experience.

We also provide simplified billing support for permanent placements, making your recruitment expenses more efficient and compliant.
