About our salary guide

Our salary and trends analysis benchmarks profiles on SME & Blue-Chip organisations with salary data until end of Q3 2022 across the entire territory of Switzerland for entry level up to executive positions. The 1,500+ placements we complete each year represent the primary source of information. These data are aggregated with the salary information provided by the +25,000 candidates we are meeting each year – excluding the ones who are not currently working in Switzerland. In case the sample of data gathered won’t be sufficient to provide with an accurate view on salary trends, we will use external source of information and metrics from our previous salary surveys and confront them to the overall perspective on salaries shared by our clients.
Due to the variety of missions we conduct each year, we present in this survey mid-point figures that may vary +/- 15% according to the company’s location, size, sector and benefits practices.
Due to the great diversity of bonus systems and processes in Swiss companies, all salaries listed are fixed salaries only (including lump sum if applicable).
