Why Wirz & Partners for



 

We would be pleased to demonstrate to SIFEM why Wirz & Partners has for years been the preferred Executive Search partner for board mandates, the federal administration, and the financial industry.

 

We understand our clients

As one of the few executive search firms, we have maintained for many years a clear focus on board and executive management mandates in both the public sector and the financial industry in Switzerland. We are economists and business professionals with backgrounds in banking and consulting. We bring longstanding experience and deep understanding of the public sector, along with explicit expertise in development aid and its financing.

Our clients are national and international companies and organizations headquartered in the DACH region or with a strong presence in the EMEA region. We serve them locally while recruiting internationally.

 

The value for you as our client is reflected in the following aspects:

  • Quality & access to top talent – we are perceived as highly relevant by the target market, as we are the brand for board and C-level recruiting.

  • Speed – we know the target companies and the ideal profiles, which enables us to deliver faster results.

  • Cultural understanding – we know the public sector. The partners responsible for searches have a proven senior management track record, and for years we have been successfully recruiting mandates in governmental environments.

We support you locally and remain your partner not only throughout the recruitment process but also beyond.

 

 

Why Wirz & Partners

 

Because the positions we fill have a retention which is 2-3 times higher than the average.

 

Because in 8 out of 10 cases the client entrusts us with follow-up mandates during the first mandate.

 

Because we close mandates in 4 months on average

 

Because in more than 90% of the mandates, we can create strategic added value for the client in the design of the search profile through our industry and/or subject competence.

 

Because in 30% of the mandates, the shortlist is so good that the client creates new positions, and this leads to multiple appointments.
