Staff leasing companies support the economy with recruitment
The upturn in the staff leasing sector is being buoyed by an increase in demand from industry. The attractive global economic situation is resulting in rising demand for capital goods such as machines and production facilities, while the weakening Swiss franc is making Swiss mechanical and electrical engineering companies more competitive. In order to cover the higher number of orders, companies often need to quickly recruit more employees. The around 5,000 staff leasing advisers working for staff leasing companies across Switzerland are an important resource in bringing employers and employees together and contribute to making the most of domestic potential.
Staff leasing: a reflection of the employment market
The growth of the staff leasing sector shows how closely connected staff leasing companies are to the economic situation. As staff leasing companies are on the front line with new hires, general employment market trends are reflected many times over in staff leasing companies' operations. Due to high competitive pressure on the market, the current upturn is not being translated into increasing profit margins. A new study by swissstaffing shows that two-thirds of staff leasing companies rate the current level of competition as high or very high.
