About Summit
Summit Recruitment is quality led Technology and Change management Recruitment company looking for friendly, positive, motivated individuals to join our small, international, outgoing team.
Founded in 2017, and based in the heart of Lucerne, we focus on the IT and change management sector, providing the best in Software, Infrastructure, ERP, Project Management and Business Analysis talent (amongst others) to our Swiss client base on both a permanent and contract recruitment basis and we have our Swiss licences to perform both.
What do we stand for?
Doing the right thing.
Providing the best possible candidate and client service.
Going the extra mile to make sure we make accurate matches.
Building long term relationships, not just looking for short term sales.
What does a typical week look like at Summit?
As an experienced recruiter we would expect that you would do a mixture of candidate sourcing/delivery and business development/client relationship work.
We have an established client base for you to come in and deliver to, so from the start we would expect that might make up 80% candidate sourcing and 20% client relationship or business development. We are a big believer in personal contact, so we like to meet with clients in person and it would be expected that you would spend (on average) approx. 10% of your time out meeting clients. However, finding good candidates is the biggest challenge (that is why we are needed in the first place!) so candidate sourcing and delivery will be expected to make up the biggest amount of your time. Therefore, you should be the kind of person that enjoys candidate searching, headhunting, contacting, screening and so on.
However, we know that no two weeks are the same. Our approach to KPI’s is that they are important on a fundamental level to ensure long term success but that they should never get in the way of common sense and business needs.
Being a small team each week you also get the chance to exchange ideas with the team across a range of topics and contribute.
What are we looking for?
- Firstly, and most importantly, a great attitude. ? Working as part of a small team it’s important to us that we have the right team fit
- English language skills (at least B2/C1 level – fluent preferred)
- German language skills are a big advantage
- Experience working as a recruiter, ideally within the IT market, but we are open to people who have worked in other sectors too. We are also open to considering people with sales but not recruitment experience.
- Someone who enjoys communicating to candidates/clients on the phone and views this as your preferred method of communication whenever something is unclear, rather than sending a message/email and waiting for a reply. Time kills deals!
- Someone who asks questions and does not accept things at face value
- Someone who is keen to learn and develop their personal skill set and always looking to improve
- Experience of both candidate sourcing and client relationship work - preferred
- Business development experience - preferred
Benefits
- Competitive base salary dependent on experience
- Excellent commission structure
- 25 days holiday
- Flexible working hours/arrangements (we are also open to people who want to work less than 100%)
- Friday after work drinks, quarterly team events/lunches etc
- A fun, friendly and team focused environment
- Modern infrastructure and offices in the heart of Lucerne
- Training and development opportunities
- Yearly career and salary review
- Quarterly progress reports
- Promotion opportunities based upon merit and a clear career path
- Long term, there is an opportunity to earn equity in the company
