Sector trends 2027

Job creation remains limited and investment levels remain subdued. Companies are spending a lot of time reflecting on their team structures for the medium to long term.
The market remains cautious and slow-moving. However, we are starting to see some companies trying to anticipate a potential recovery.

Internal talent is being prioritized over external hires. External candidates, more than ever, are required to clearly demonstrate their value and impact.

Despite industrial activity being affected by the economic slowdown, the strength of the Swiss franc, and a challenging geopolitical environment, many Swiss companies continue to show resilience and confidence.
