What are the Com­pon­ents of Recruitment?

This question can also be put differently: What do candidates and companies need from a professional recruiter? Skilled workers are in high demand, and companies across all industries are constantly looking for the best talent. But where do they come from? We at Coopers are a strong partner for both companies and candidates. Successful recruitment? Rely on us!

Whether you are a start-up, a medium-sized company or a global player: when it comes to successful recruitment, companies need a tailor-made strategy. Gone are the days when a vacancy was first recognized and only then a job ad advertised. The job market has been reinventing itself for some time. New-work topics occupy HR departments just as much as the question of how a company positions itself as an employer.

Talented people have access to all sorts of opportunities. Print out an application, send it by mail and hope for an interview invitation? That hasn't been the way for a long time. Good talents, high potentials and specialists are often approached proactively. Thus, in case they are interested, they can ask for more information without any strings attached. Modern headhunting in the form of active sourcing has successfully established itself in the labor market.

The demands on HR departments are enormous. The size of the company is irrelevant here. Start-ups, medium-sized companies, and even large enterprises face their very own challenges. A shortage of skilled workers and new work issues are just two of the challenges that HR departments face on top of their daily operational workload.

Companies working with a recruitment agency think like entrepreneurs. Because we provide assistance exactly where it is needed most. And we even go one step further.

For example, companies need manpower when opening new branches or entering new markets. Start-ups also face this challenge: a lot of staff has to be found at once. But where to look for candidates? The market is empty, and good specialists are hard to find. 

Companies also call on the support of a recruitment agency to outsource some or all of their recruiting. This allows HR managers to concentrate on strategic decisions without tying up capacity in day-to-day operations.

Solutions for temporary personnel shortages and contracting are services in high demand. The magic word here is flexibility. Companies cannot or do not want to tie themselves down with permanent positions, but still need qualified personnel. 

Thus, companies approach us for very different reasons. Whether it's recruitment, contracting, executive search or many other topics: We have the solution.

High potentials or experienced professionals, C-level or operational level: talents are in a comfortable position. They know that good candidates are wanted everywhere. 

Are you currently assigned to a position, but open to something new? Are you taking some time off to rethink your career? Whatever your personal situation is at the moment: We are happy to support you with your career planning. 

Our focus is not only on qualifications. It is important to us that the talents we place fit into a company on a personal level too. After all, this is the only way your strengths will develop.

When joining the Coopers network, you have a wide range of exciting assignments and permanent positions to choose from. And we'll be happy to answer any questions you may have in person. Contact us!

Good recruitment is only possible with an excellent team. We are at the service of our clients at several locations throughout Switzerland when it comes to successful recruitment.

Specialization

Excellent recruitment requires professional knowledge. At Coopers, specialists recruit specialists. We focus our recruiting services on IT, Engineering and Life Sciences, Finance. Talents in these fields are in demand across all industries - whether it be Aviation, Pharma, Transport & Logistics or many more.

Market and industry knowledge

We know the players in "our" markets. Market and industry knowledge are just as much a prerequisite for successful recruitment as different sources we can use. Social media, Google Ads, digital job boards and career networks are just a few examples that describe our search radius. 

Process control

As an experienced service provider, we put our absolute focus on competent process management. We are constantly optimizing our own internal processes - adapted to the needs of our customers and candidates, experience, trends and developments. We are (pro)actively running a high-precision clockwork of processes that our customers can rely on. 

The advantage: We can focus entirely on the needs of companies and candidates. This means that we can develop recruitment strategies that are precisely tailored to companies' needs; for candidates our services are even free of charge.

People

Last but not least, to provide an excellent recruitment experience, you should enjoy working with and for people. Every talent has a personal story, every company a vision. And we accompany both sides on the path to successful recruitment.

Really getting to know candidates, really understanding job requirements: What is the specific need? What goals do they have, what are their aspirations? Coopers works without fixed KPIs. What counts for us is personal responsibility, flexibility and room for empathy and sensitivity.

Good recruitment is based on a series of steps that are interrelated and interdependent: 

• Analysis: What is needed? What should the recruitment strategy look like? How to ideally define the position?
• Search: We search for and find suitable candidates using multiple sources within an enormous search radius.
• Selection: During personal interviews, we answer questions, clarify open issues, and discuss details. It's a good fit? Wonderful! It doesn't match? Then another position may be more suitable for the talent.

Whether company or talent: With us, everyone is in good company.
