Question 1

What is Candidate Experience and why does it matter?

Accepted Answer

Candidate Experience describes how applicants perceive the entire hiring process – from the first job ad to the final decision. A positive experience strengthens your employer brand, increases offer acceptance rates, and ensures that candidates recommend your company even after a rejection. In times of talent shortage, this is a decisive competitive advantage.

Question 2

Who is the coaching designed for?

Accepted Answer

The individual coaching is aimed at professionals and managers who are actively job searching or planning a career move. It is especially valuable for people transitioning from international environments (e.g. Google, Big Tech) into the Swiss job market and wanting to understand local nuances in applications and salary negotiations.

Question 3

How does the first conversation work?

Accepted Answer

The free initial consultation takes around 30 minutes via video call. We discuss your current situation, your goals, and whether and how I can meaningfully support you. There is no obligation – the conversation is simply to see whether working together makes sense for both sides.

Question 4

What does coaching cost?

Accepted Answer

Individual coaching is billed at CHF 350 per hour. For companies and organisations, project fees are agreed individually depending on scope and duration. You can find more details on the coaching page or feel free to reach out directly.

Question 5

How long does a typical consulting project take?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the mandate. A focused process audit for a company typically takes 4–8 weeks. Accompanying projects to redesign the recruiting process often run for 3–6 months. Individual coaching sessions are flexibly bookable, usually 3–10 sessions depending on your needs.

Question 6

Do you also work with small companies and startups?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Especially for growing SMEs and startups without a dedicated HR department, professional support in recruiting and candidate experience is particularly valuable. I adapt my approaches to the respective company size and resources.

Question 7

Do you offer remote consulting?

Accepted Answer

Yes – coaching, consulting, and webinars are all available remotely via video call. For larger company projects where on-site insights are beneficial, I am available in the Zurich area and German-speaking Switzerland.

Question 8

What sets you apart from a traditional recruitment agency?

Accepted Answer

Traditional recruitment agencies place candidates and are paid on a success basis – their focus is on closing deals. I advise both sides: companies on building better processes and candidates on their individual positioning. With 20+ years of recruiting experience, including 14 years at Google, I bring an independent, hands-on perspective without conflicts of interest.
