Switzerland – a picture of the future of recruitment in Western Europe?

noreply@blogger.com (VT) — Tue, 29 Mar 2011 08:48:16 PDT

Multi-Country search capabilities are key to success for executive search companies.

Whilst the proportion of foreigners in top management does not follow the internationalization of the economic activity in most European countries, the percentage of foreigners in the top management of Swiss multinational companies has increased dramatically during the last 15 years to over 50% according to some sources whilst the proportion in upper management is only slightly lower. The phenomenon has also hit SME’s where the number of foreign CEO’s is rising, notably with a great proportion of German nationals at the helm of small industrial companies. Finally, a certain number of roles (for example French nationals in procurement roles in French speaking Switzerland) have become almost exclusively populated by foreigners.

Studies on the subject are scarce, but it can be safely said that this movement has not been followed to the same extent in other European countries: it seems that the proportion of foreigners in reputedly “international” countries like Sweden or The Netherlands it is only of about 10-15% whilst it is still very difficult for a foreigner to reach top management level in a French or Spanish multinational company. 96% of the companies listed in the Swiss Market Index (SMI) have at least one foreign Board Member whilst this is true only for 28% of Swedish or Dutch companies. Furthermore, only 59% of all Swiss companies listed at the stock exchange are actually Swiss nationals (50% of SMI companies)[1].

In 2010, over 50% of the executive search assignments run by AIMS International in Switzerland have involved cross border candidate sourcing processes within several countries. The clients have been more faith in finding a perfect match for their needs in this larger pool of talent than in recruiting from the local workforce only. While this trend varies from one industry to another, it is especially strong for roles in international sales and engineering, manufacturing and supply chain management and even companies with activities focused exclusively towards the Swiss market have become more open to foreigners in upper management roles.

This Swiss “difference” can partly be explained by the smallness and cultural set-up of the country (3 national languages), its strong economic development and low unemployment rate, the important concentration of regional or global headquarters of multinational companies and last but not least, the export orientation of its economy, but it may also be one of the reasons for the country’s continued economic success in contrast to the relative morosity of its European neighbours as Swiss companies benefit from a larger pool of talent.

The supposition seems accurate that the Swiss situation is prefiguring what will happen in the rest of Europe with the continuing internationalization and the increasing importance of foreign companies and capital in the national economies combined with an ever growing need for talents with multinational experience.

The capacity to source candidates on a multi-country, pan-European or even global scale is thus to be evaluated as a very important element for long term success of all companies in their struggle for the best talent. Only Executive Search Firms which have consistently built up this ability over the last decades and developed a system of cooperation that ensures smooth handling of customer assignments regardless of territory boundaries will be able to meet their clients` needs. Global key account management processes and global industry practice teams cooperating efficiently across borders are first signals for the right set-up of international Executive Search Firms. The probability that they are able to source the best candidates wherever they may be located is higher.

Dave Way, managing director of accountancy and financial services recruiter, comments on the government’s spending review

noreply@blogger.com (VT) — Thu, 21 Oct 2010 00:43:28 PDT

Dave Way, managing director of accountancy and financial services recruiter, comments on the government’s spending review:

“The public sector is shrinking, but these cuts are crucial to reducing the deficit and ultimately providing the right conditions for Britain’s private sector to pick up the slack and restore strength to the economy. Without these austerity measures we may have seen damage done to the UK’s sovereign credit rating. The UK's financial services and its connected sectors, which are responsible for over 1 million employed and around 14% of the country’s GDP, depend on our global reputation as a stable and growing economy.

“However, while providing the right economic conditions for financial services to invest, the government should be wary of pushing business away through excessive regulation and prohibitive tax measures. Banks are already starting to report reduced profits and to reduce the UK’s competitiveness as an international financial and business centre would cause long-term damage to the country’s economic standing. The levy announced today, and £900m invested in efforts to combat tax avoidance and evasion, seems reasonable but it is vital that this is not a sign of populist punishment of the sector yet to come. The government must be very careful in its biting of the hand that feeds it.”

Eighteen consultants from these global firms developed a new framework for sharing candidate information to help clients quickly close searches with high quality candidates.

The focus of the conference was on how to improve collaboration between these five firms to better serve their clients and to develop enhanced access into each other’s databases. The firms also discussed the impact of social media – LinkedIn, Facebook, etc. – and how it can be used successfully in the search business. Each firm shared their best practices in search for others to evaluate and possibly adopt as a new technique.

Nancy Garrison Jenn, author, consultant and global authority on headhunters, met with the group and discussed what clients are looking for in a search firm and how ASP can better serve clients in a competitive search landscape. Nancy pointed out that ASP has tremendous potential for growth as it is the only global search firm focused exclusively on technology and clean tech/energy. Colin Tenwick, CEO and Founder of the CT Partnership Ltd in the UK, also met with the group. Tenwick spoke about entrepreneurship in Europe.

According to Charley Polachi, Founding Partner of Polachi, “This year’s conference was extremely helpful and productive.

Commenting on the government’s creation of a green investment bank, Zoe Bennett, head of Kinsey Allen Cleantech, said

“The cleantech sector is forging ahead in size and strength. More and more investors are piling in as businesses and industries grow confident of the returns available from green business and it’s encouraging that the government is seeing the opportunities in the cleantech sector as well. This growth will not only have a positive impact on the environment, it will also boost the number of jobs in the sector. We have forecast private equity investment in the UK cleantech sector to rise from £166m in 2010 to £325m in 2011. Analysis of the Californian cleantech sector has shown that for every £64m invested in the industry, 2,700 jobs are created. Applying this model to the UK the sector can expect job growth in the region of 13,000 in 2011. Not only will larger sums of money pumped into cleantech companies and projects mean more jobs on the technical side but demand for talented business focussed individuals will increase further to ensure these investments pay.”

While the market remains somewhat patchy, and prudently we should anticipate that some periods will be stronger than others, this positive start nevertheless gives the Board reason to believe that non-recurring revenues are likely to be higher in 2010 than in 2009. As stated in our 2009 results, recurring revenue was the highest it had ever been in 2009 and we currently expect 2010 to exceed this level.”

Our ongoing investment in product development expenditure on FILEFINDER underlines Dillistone's commitment to maintaining a market leading position and makes the Board confident about the long term performance of the business. Given the Company's strong balance sheet, and subject to continued satisfactory trading, it is the Directors intention to maintain dividend payments in 2010 at 2009 levels," he stated.
