Zürich, Switzerland, 2026 - April
Mercuri Urval (MU) has once again been recognised as one of the top Executive Search companies in Switzerland, marking the eighth consecutive year the company has received this prestigious distinction with the highest rating.
The award is based on the independent study “The Best Recruitment Companies and Career Portals in Switzerland 2026”, conducted by Statista in collaboration with the leading business publications Handelszeitung and PME. The annual ranking identifies the most outstanding Executive Search companies and HR service providers across the Swiss market.
The evaluation is grounded in one of the most comprehensive surveys in the industry, incorporating feedback from CEOs, HR managers, recruiters, headhunters, HR consultants, and candidates with direct experience of recruitment services. This multi-stakeholder approach ensures a robust and independent assessment of market performance, quality, and reputation.
“This recognition is a strong validation of our consistent commitment to quality and impact,” says Vincenzo Di Pietro, Partner & Team Director at MU Switzerland. “What makes this award particularly meaningful is that it reflects the voice of the market itself.”
“Being recognised for the eighth year in a row confirms that we continue to be a trusted partner for organisations seeking tested and proven leadership and Board & Executive Search expertise”, says Christian Schaffenberger, Partner & Head MU’s Board & CEO Practice.
The study aims to support companies and candidates in identifying the most reliable and effective recruitment partners in Switzerland. Rankings are determined based on key performance indicators such as brand awareness, client experience, recommendations, and overall evaluation scores.
MU’s continued presence among the top-ranked firms highlights its strong market position and sustained excellence in executive search and leadership advisory services.
