How is our salary guide created?

Our salary survey benchmarks profiles of SME & Blue-Chip organisations with salary data until end of Q3 2024 across the entire territory of Switzerland for entry level up to executive positions. Primary data source are the 1,500+ placements we complete each year. This data is 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 is not sufficient to provide an accurate view, we use external sources of information and metrics from our previous salary studies and confront them to the overall perspective on salaries shared by our clients. Due to the variety of missions we conduct each year, this guide presents 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 in our salary guide are fixed annual salaries in thousands of CHF (kCHF) only (including lump sum if applicable).
