Recruitment
In an ever-changing banking market, recruiting the right talent is not just a necessity, it's a strategic challenge.
As a skills and career center dedicated to the financial sector in French-speaking Switzerland, ISFB plays a key role in matching the needs of banks with the skills available on the market. We work closely with placement agencies to support the employability and rapid return to work of professionals in the sector.
Our mission is clear: we support job seekers already active on the French-speaking market, who are not currently employed by our member institutions, by offering them targeted career opportunities.
We also act as a liaison for young university graduates, HES graduates and holders of a CFC in business administration (banking option) wishing to enter the banking sector, notably by organizing the ISFB Summer School every summer.
For ISFB member institutions, we provide strategic support by rapidly identifying the most suitable candidates from our pool of qualified talent. As a liaison between banks and financial institutions in French-speaking Switzerland, the authorities, the job market and job seekers, we help to streamline recruitment and optimize the match between supply and demand.
