Engineering / innovation
Request a feasibility assessment to see where your file stands.
One profession, different realities
We adapt the file to the sector, not the other way round
An engineering position and a healthcare position are not argued the same way before a cantonal authority. Here is what we observe, sector by sector.
Nine sectors
Where we work most often
IT specialists
The feasibility assessment tells you frankly what the actual position is worth.
Intra-group transfers / posted workers
The applicable regime is determined case by case: request a feasibility assessment.
Graduates of a Swiss higher education institution
The feasibility assessment clarifies what the degree changes for your candidate.
Research / academic positions
Request a feasibility assessment before the position opens.
Healthcare
The feasibility assessment aligns recognition of the qualification with the work permit.
Education
The school calendar sets the pace: start the feasibility assessment early.
Speciality chefs
The requirements specific to these applications are examined case by case: the feasibility assessment tells you where you stand from the outset.
Ice hockey and football: the transfer calendar is not open to negotiation. See the service dedicated to clubs.
See the page for clubs
Regulated professions
Two procedures, one shared timetable
In healthcare as in education, the recognition of a qualification or degree obtained abroad is a procedure distinct from the work permit. We do not conduct the recognition procedure ourselves, but we align its timetable with that of the admission file, so that neither procedure delays the other unnecessarily.
What does not change
The same legal requirements, whatever the sector
The sector shapes the argument. It exempts you from none of the requirements set by the law.
- Priority for workers already present on the Swiss and European markets
- Salary and working conditions customary for the location, profession and sector
- Qualifications reserved for managers, specialists and other qualified workers
- Suitable accommodation for the person admitted
The first step
Your sector is not on the list?
The list above is not exhaustive. Write to us about your situation, or start a feasibility assessment directly.
The decision to grant a permit rests with the cantonal and federal authorities. We prepare the file and make its case, we do not guarantee its outcome.
