UKExecutive Search Firm Opens Office in Switzerland

Executive search firm, Exige International, has expanded its business offering to Switzerland with the opening of a new office in Zug and a full license to recruit permanent placements.

The opening of the new office follows a year of major growth for Exige International, where 2011 saw the company expand into the audit, technology and insurance areas of the Swiss market. To drive the expansion in Switzerland forward, the specialist boutique firm has appointed Michael Shrum as business development director.

Swiss resident Michael has over 20 years of international business experience and leads the expansion within the treasury, trading and risk management sectors in Switzerland.

William Laitinen, managing director and founder of Exige International, said: "We have seen a lot of growth in the Swiss market over the past 12 months and with Switzerland having such a crucial role in the finance sector, opening an office there seemed like a natural step for us.

“We’re very excited to now have a presence in such an influential country, and with our Swiss licence and the appointment of Michael we are looking forward to continuing to grow and expand our niche offering to Europeans clients.”

Since its establishment in 2001 Exige International has continued to offer a sector focused approach to international recruitment and as such has recruited high calibre permanent placements for some of the major players in the finance and financial services market across the UK and Europe.
