HR resources and practical guides for SMEs and for people preparing a job application in Switzerland. Clear checklists to help you prepare for an initial conversation or improve a process.
An employment reference in Switzerland (Arbeitszeugnis) is one of the most important documents in any job application. We explain what it should include, how to read it and what to do if it does not fairly reflect your work.
Withholding tax (Quellensteuer) requires employers to deduct income tax from the salaries of certain employees and pay it over to the canton. We summarise the essentials so that you can organise it without errors.
A Swiss CV is clear, complete and easy to compare. We explain how to structure it, which details are usually included and how to prepare it alongside the rest of your application dossier.
