Well-established in the Swiss retail sector, we have been successfully filling a broad range of positions at all management levels for over 20 years. In the retail sector, our consultancy activities cover the omnichannel (retail and wholesale) and pure player market segments as well as the relevant suppliers. We are at the heart of the matter rather than merely being present.
Correct. Decisions.
Even before Covid-19 emerged, Swiss retail had been undergoing a period of turbulent development. Slogans such as “customer-centricity”, “customer journey” and the increasingly prevalent “customer insights” and the erosion of traditional boundaries have been putting the market to the test. Companies are called upon to make the right decisions for their long-term survival on the market.
Herculean. Task.
To be able to fulfil this Herculean task, we need people on board who, on the one hand, have the necessary professional expertise and capacity to innovate and, on the other, the knowledge to know what will be important tomorrow. And as if this wasn’t challenging enough, cultural fit also has to be guaranteed.
Equal. Partners.
As insiders who put our heart and soul into our work, we talk to people and engage with them fairly and respectfully as equal partners every day. Our aim is to find out who will be able to set the course for tomorrow and in which environment.
“When using the direct search method, a structured multi-level approach to identifying and attracting prospective candidates based on their professional expertise is just as important to Viavanta as matching an individual’s personality to the characteristics of the client’s corporate culture.”
“Within ten days, Viavanta managed to recruit six potential candidates who were available for a preliminary interview with our Board of Directors at short notice – without even naming our company. Thanks to Viavanta’s impressive network of candidates, we were able to fill the position in no time at all!”
“During our discreet search for a CFO, Viavanta supported me as a trustworthy partner right from discussing the profile through to creating a sustainable onboarding process. The search project has evolved into a strategic partnership that goes far beyond recruitment and is one that I really value.”
“Viavanta helped us, a retail company in Eastern Switzerland, to recruit 23 new specialists to develop the SAP S/4 department within seven months. Our collaboration as partners has grown into a relationship based on trust. Viavanta has a profound understanding of our needs and culture and has become our strategic spearhead in the recruitment market.”
