Today, our Swiss Strategy Board met and we were very productive. We had an impressive 130+ years of industry experience in one room - can you top that? 😉 The current market situation not only requires our full attention but also clear strategies that meet our customers‘ and candidates‘ needs in the right way. Just a glimpse into one of many topics we discussed. 👉🏻One of our key strategic priorities at Hays is being innovative and further developing our service offering and products - staying ahead of the market as the advisor to our customers, no matter what solution or service is needed. Discussing also where does AI support us and where do we make a real difference with our human work based on many, many years of experience. 🙋🏻‍♀️Here’s a topic where I would be interested in your opinion: Are we old fashioned to not only assess skills supported by AI but backed up by human work? We think this makes the difference. #strategy #leadership #innovation #ai #switzerland

Struggling to Find Local German and English-Speaking IT Experts in Austria? I hear this concern daily from managers in Austria who find it challenging to identify local talent. With a decade of experience working in the Austrian market and helping 50+ companies find freelance and permanent talent, I can relate to these difficulties. Finding the right people isn't just about knowing where to look—it's about having the right network and expertise. Many companies have small HR/recruiting departments or rely on local agencies that aren't specialized in their needs. This can make the search for skilled professionals even more challenging. If sounds relatable and you're looking for insights on how and where to find local German and English speaking experts, let's connect. I'm happy to offer some free advice and tackle the challenge with you! #austria #hiring #ITtalent #HiringChallenges #GermanSpeakingExperts

The mood continues to improve 📈 Sentiment among startup investors in Germany improved in the first quarter of 2024, according to the KfW and BVK Investor Barometer. The indicator rose by 6.7 points to minus 20.5. The improvement is primarily attributed to the prospect of interest rate cuts, which make investments more attractive. The fundraising climate in the VC market has also improved slightly, but is still in negative territory. This is due to rising exit proceeds, particularly from IPOs of technology companies. Experts expect up to ten IPOs of tech start-ups in the next two years. However, this depends on the preparation of the companies and external factors such as regulation.

You have the choice: Either pay 10'000 CHF or 30'000 CHF more for an employee in your team. No brainer - of course, you prefer the 10'000 CHF. So why is it that so many companies rather pay 30'000 CHF (and more) to get a new employee instead of paying 10'000 CHF for a pay rise that would've kept the old employee?

Salary Guide 2024 - Venture Capital DACH The last two years were crisis years for many start-ups. The volume of financing fell by almost two thirds. The reasons for this are persistently high interest rates and high inflation, coupled with a recession and a difficult geopolitical situation. Added to this is the further withdrawal of foreign investors from financing German start-ups, particularly from the USA. Nevertheless, experts are optimistic about the current year, not least because of the enormous potential in the artificial intelligence and clean tech sectors. This optimistic outlook for 2024 is also reflected in the salaries of VC company employees. These have remained relatively stable and, in some cases, have seen a positive upward trend. #investmentbanking
