What CareerTeam Schweiz does

CareerTeam Schweiz GmbH is a Swiss executive search and professional recruitment firm (Personalberatung) headquartered at Weinplatz 10, 8001 Zurich, operating as a brand under CTG Consulting GmbH. Founded in 2017, the firm provides three core service lines — Executive Search for C-level and senior leadership placements, Professional Search for specialized mid-level roles, and Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) for clients needing dedicated recruiting teams over defined durations — supplemented by a Career Advisory service for individual job seekers. The firm serves enterprise and mid-market clients across the DACH region, with a particular focus on digital, technology, and transformation roles, evidenced by named engagements with Urban Sports Club, Digitec Galaxus, GVB Gruppe, Advertima, Bexio, and Zehnder Group Produktion, alongside reference logos including eBay, Microsoft, N26, Rocket Internet, TeamViewer, and HomeToGo.

The firm operates a sales-led, consultative go-to-market model organized around nine verticalized expertise areas: C-Level, Engineering and IT, Digital and E-Commerce, Finance and Accounting, Healthcare and Life Sciences, Go-to Market, People Function, Product and UX, and BI and Data. Its core technology infrastructure consists of a proprietary candidate database of over 770,000 contacts, expanded through industry events, trade show sponsorships, and proprietary training programs, plus the eRecruiter GmbH CRM/ATS platform. The 'digital multi-channel search process' is positioned to surface passive 'hidden candidates' unreachable through traditional channels. Operating performance metrics include 85% interview invitation rate, first interviews within 20 days, average 63-day (9-week) time to hire, 3.3 candidate profiles per successful placement, and 71% customer NPS.

The business generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven professional services fees typical of the executive search industry, with no publicly disclosed pricing tiers. The Swiss entity is led by Managing Director Fabian Felix Weber, with pan-DACH delivery supported by offices in Berlin and Hamburg under the broader CTG Consulting umbrella, which also includes CareerTeam entities in Germany, the Netherlands, France, and the UK. CareerTeam Schweiz has been recognized as 'Headhunter of the Year — Client Experience' in 2019 and 'Top Personal Dienstleister — Professional & Specialist Search' in 2022.
