Experis Switzerland

What Experis Switzerland does

Experis Switzerland is the Swiss arm of Experis, a global IT professional resourcing and managed services brand under ManpowerGroup (NYSE: MAN). The legal entity, Experis AG (Zurich), operates branch offices in Zurich-Oerlikon, Basel, and Geneva, serving as a domestic-focused IT staffing and recruitment firm. The firm has been operating in Switzerland for over 25 years and is a wholly-owned subsidiary of ManpowerGroup SA (Morges), which itself sits within the broader ManpowerGroup corporate structure that spans 75+ countries.

The company's core offerings comprise four service lines: IT Staffing (temporary and contract placements), Permanent Placement (direct-hire recruitment at fees typically 20-30% of annual salary), Project Services (managed services and consulting billed on time-and-materials or fixed-fee structures), and Experis Academy (training and upskilling programs). Underlying technology includes an AI/ML-powered candidate-to-job matching engine, a GDPR and Swiss FADP-compliant candidate database integrated with the broader ManpowerGroup network, and a self-service MyExperis candidate portal. The firm serves Swiss enterprises across banking, insurance, pharmaceutical, life sciences, manufacturing, and automotive sectors, with documented engagements in compliance, AML, cloud, AI platform engineering, and electrical systems testing.

The business model is a hybrid of managed services (contract staffing) and professional services (permanent placement, project services, training). Go-to-market combines direct enterprise sales through account managers in the three branch offices, inside sales for candidate acquisition, and a direct-to-consumer recruitment platform (experis.ch) that drives candidate engagement via the CTRL + ALT + SUCCEED campaign and Project You initiative. Pricing is quote-based, negotiated per engagement, with no public disclosure. The firm employs 42 staff in Switzerland and reports placing 12,000 people in jobs annually as part of the global Experis brand.
