What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can act as a strategic HR partner—owning recruitment, onboarding, and talent initiatives, while continuously improving HR processes and reporting (skills analytics) in a multilingual Swiss environment.

I’m a reliability- and flexibility-driven HR Business Partner who bridges German- and French-speaking Switzerland. I translate business needs into effective hiring and people strategies, partnering directly with managers while applying full-cycle recruitment across multiple locations.

I design sustainable talent management initiatives—especially onboarding and talent development—and continuously improve HR processes, knowledge management structures, and HR reporting. I also support ESG reporting, coordinate ISO and EcoVadis audits, and handle HR compliance and administration (contracts, certificates, attestations, and residence/work permits), while using tools like Microsoft Forms and structured data analysis to strengthen skills analytics.
