Yes, working with LiveWorkSwitzerland is a high-ROI investment, not a cost. Let’s look at the numbers:
  • Every month you’re job searching without success in Switzerland can cost you CHF 8,333 (based on a CHF 100k+ annual salary).
  • Clients who land roles 3 to 6 months faster with us can gain CHF 25,000–50,000 in recovered income.
  • Many clients also secure 10–40% higher salary offers, thanks to Swiss-optimized CVs, stronger interview performance, and smarter salary negotiation.
    • Just a 10% salary increase equals CHF 10,000 more per year — or CHF 50,000 over five years.
💡 Return on investment: Career coaching typically returns 400–900% of the initial investment and often more when you include relocation guidance and networking opportunities unique to LWS.
Short answer: Not always. Depending on the industry and role, English may be sufficient, especially in multinational companies or startups. However, some roles (especially public-facing or in local SMEs) require local language fluency. LiveWorkSwitzerland helps you navigate this with:
  • Job targeting based on your language strengths
  • Local language coaching referrals (if needed)
  • Application positioning to show cultural fit, even without fluent German/French
Yes. We work with clients at all stages of the move:
  • Pre-relocation support (visas, market research, CV prep)
  • Remote job search coaching so you can land a job before arrival

  • Luxury, FMCG, and Consulting
We support all levels from recent graduates to senior executives. Our Rolex Package is tailored for high-level and confidential transitions.
We’re not a recruitment agency, so we don’t place you in a job. But we do provide the tools, strategy, network access, and Swiss insight that help you land the right role faster and with better conditions. In other words: We don’t get you the job, we help you get it yourself.
Most professionals take 3 to 9 months to find a job, depending on:
  • Market conditions
  • Level of role
  • Language and permit status
  • Strategy effectiveness
Our goal is to shorten that timeline by 2–6 months, saving you thousands in lost income.
Yes, our A La Carte services include:
  • CV and cover letter review & optimization (Swiss format)
  • LinkedIn profile coaching and rewrite
  • Personal branding aligned to the Swiss market These are also included in all coaching packages.
Yes! You’re exactly the type of person we help most. If you’re sending many applications without interviews, chances are:
  • Your CV isn’t adapted to Swiss standards
  • You’re applying without targeting or a clear narrative
  • You’re not tapping into the hidden job market
We’ll work together to fix that and rebuild your strategy from the ground up.
