Swiss HR market booming
The Swiss job market is performing very well. It’s not just economic experts who share this view. A veritable boom can also be seen at www.jobscout24.ch and www.topjobs.ch.
The Swiss labor market is developing very positively. This opinion is not only shared by economic experts; a real boom can also be seen at www.jobscout24.ch and www.topjobs.ch. The two online job exchanges at www.jobscout24.ch and www.topjobs.ch have recorded continuous growth in recent months. The Federal Government's Expert Group on Economic Forecasts underlines this experience of JobScout24: "The recovery that has begun on the labor market should consolidate in the course of 2006 and continue next year."
However, while the expert group forecasts an increase in full-time equivalent employment of just 0.5% for the current year, the figures from JobScout24 suggest a much stronger recovery in the labor market. In March 2006, JobScout24 reported 12% more vacancies than in the same month last year. The interest of job seekers has increased even more:
JobScout24 has even gained 28% here.
This may be due to the fact that Swiss employees are particularly sought-after. A recently published statistic from the German sister portal at www.jobscout24.de showed that half of all German companies that also recruit outside Germany look for suitable applicants in Switzerland.
Various market studies have repeatedly shown that the two TopJobsScout24 job platforms are at the top of the list for both job seekers and recruiters. In November 2005, DemoSCOPE recorded peak values of 43.3% and 21.4% for the cumulative awareness of JobScout24 and TopJobs respectively. According to the current MA Comis reach study by WEMF, www.jobscout24.ch is ahead of all its competitors with the widest user base of 11.4%. And www.topjobs.ch, the portal for specialists and managers, reaches every 30th Internet user in Switzerland despite its strong specialization.
