Autor: The affiliation with the association of personnel service providers, swissstaffing, gives the guaranty that personnel services strictly comply with the minimum standards of personnel consulting, personnel recruiting, human resources management and temporary work. An ethically correct provision of services and a positive view of humankind are important. swissstaffing – a good cause. An important partnership between employees, economy and politics.
The Association of Personnel Service Providers of Switzerland was founded in 1968 as the Association of Businesses for Temporary Work, SVUTA. The goal of the new employers’ association was the representation of the industry’s interests, but also the ensurance of competent services for the fast growing demand for temporary employees and flexible work opportunities. At the beginning of the 1990s, the association opened up to private personnel recruitment companies and thus provided the basis for the consolidation with the “sister association” VPS, the association for personnel consultants in Switzerland, which was finalized on January 22, 1998. With the simultaneously occurring name change to VPDS, the general assembly documented the broad spectrum of services that is provided by the members of the HR section. During the general meeting in 2006, members decided to replace VPDS, which was lacking an identifying quality and clarity, with swissstaffing. The members operate in the following areas:
- Personnel consulting, personnel administration, accounting, payroll and tax services
- Service lending, employment services, executive search consulting
- Personnel services, outplacement
- Temporary work and other HR services
As an employers’ association, swissstaffing represents the concerns of its members in public. It aims to promote the joint interests of its members during the exchange with authorities and other associations.
swissstaffing guarantees its market partners, business clients and job seekers transparent, high-quality and professional services of its members due to clearly defined standards.
Audits conducted by external bodies ensure a consistent implementation of ethical principles.

Economic, pragmatic-intelligent corporate management and liberal personnel or human capital management is perceived by employees as a clear asset rather than an effort.
Human beings have become obsolete as mere production units. They have rather turned into guiding spirits of modern work processes with sustained added value and appreciations.
Human beings have become obsolete as mere production units.
The corporate and economic significance of HR departments is often heavily disputed. Many HR managers are not part of either the extended or the actual general management. However, a strategically smart, competent orientation of personnel recruitment and a future-oriented human resources management are critical key factors for assuring a company’s existence.
The complexity of interpersonal interactions increases steadily. It is not enough anymore to simply find the right professionals that meet the hard factors. In addition, soft factors like the ability to work in a team, to adapt, willingness to develop and social compatibility take up more and more room in decision-making processes. If Human Resources Management (HRM) isn’t all that important, personnel search, screening and selection can simply be left to mere chance. The savings in time and money will surely be dedicated to all future problems. The costs increase vastly. PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG assists many HR managers, and also general managers, in their search for the right HR experts.
The more time passes, the more dominantly Human Resources Management (HRM) is confronted with a paradigm. The so-called Human Capital Management raises its claim. Corporate managements and stakeholders want to learn more about how the intangible assets of well qualified employees are balanced in the total valuation. The deeper cause for this new appreciation of employees does not lie in altruistic reasons. The working world is undergoing fundamental changes.
There are no more lifelong guarantees for employers and employees. The markets have become too fragile, too volatile and too agile. Long gone are the days of adhering to iron market-ideological traditions and dogmata. Job markets open up, they change radically within a short period of time and highly skilled High Potentials move as present-day nomads from continent to continent.
The global competition for attractive job markets increases continuously.
The global competition for attractive job markets increases continuously. Young, but dynamic economies, too, have clearly realized that excellent social and economic basic conditions attract skilled professionals. The value of the highly skilled expertise in combination with intellectual and social competence of knowledge bearers is ever increasing. Special knowledge and special skills become attractive assets that can be match-deciding for the economic development of businesses. Complex knowledge, which is constantly adjusted to new findings, is a valuable resource that is much sought-after and always exposed to many temptations. To a larger extent, Personnel search, recruitment, screening and selection have to be accompanied by personnel fostering, promotion and sustainment. The business expenses, the high subsequent costs and the considerable process-controlled structural and fundamental damages of an extraordinarily high employee turnover are still massively underestimated. Negative staff changes cause a noticeable delay and a painful stop of all corporate development and healthy growth, which might have a big impact and cast a shadow on the overall performance of the general management. A lack of personnel or employing the wrong or poorly skilled personnel can be just as exasperatingly inhibiting as having unsatisfied, exploited or demotivated personnel. Modern Human Resources Management works like a precisely calibrated seismograph: It accurately locates undesired developments, it takes immediate measures and it uses modern methods to take corrective actions.
Good Human Resources Management and a competent, committed crew will prevent an expensive and damaging loss of reputation due to a high employee turnover, and will ensure the systematic and consistent implementation of personnel sustainment and fostering.
Human Resources Management is subject to many vain trends that simulate superficial, contemporary open-mindedness and modernity. Many of those theoretical management novelties cannot be implemented in daily practice. The main focus should not be on the concept, but on the uncompromising appreciation of the staff. More and more open-minded management teams and individual decision makers conclude that modern Human Resources Management not only accentuates the lasting added value of business processes, but also creates appreciation-generating values like motivation, loyalty, sense of belonging and work satisfaction. People that only want to earn their bread, will never develop the same hard and soft values that generate profit for a business as those people who are met with an authentic, sincere and open appreciation.

Engineering defines our existence in all situations of life.
From electric tooth brushes, flywheels in machines or washing machines – the basic principles of mathematics, physics and logic, which represent the essence of engineering, can be found in everything.
Engineering defines our existence in all situations of life.
Engineering is usually considered an applied science. Of course, it includes comprehensive fundamental research. However, the declared main focus and core competence clearly lie in the practical implementation of scientific findings and in methods for the realization of technically mature products. Engineering also plays an important role in the industrial community of Northwestern Switzerland.
The invention of high-capacity computers fundamentally renewed the versatile engineering technologies. Due to constructive assumptions, for example, the reactions of atomic structures, substances, characteristics of materials, and other things can be anticipated with the help of computers and software-controlled simulations. Hence, costly misguided developments can be avoided thanks to theoretic-constructive platforms. Software-controlled simulations have replaced many process steps and provide fast and more cost-efficient results. Therefore, field-tested applications are executed more closely to technical limitations more frequently than in the past. With all the positive consequences. Engineering is unmistakably influenced by the general microeconomic framework. In order to be fit for the global competition, engineering, too, requires cost-efficient methods, which legitimize the right of existence of each and every company.
Skilled engineers are needed and utilized in all specialist areas: mechanical engineering, the construction of thermal and hydrologic power plants, structural calculations of buildings, the planning of nuclear facilities, the exploration of nanotechnological novelties, the use of metallurgic niche materials in medical engineering or technological life science specialties.
The PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AGhas dedicated its processes for personnel recruitment and selection to those different specialist areas.
The search for such experts in the engineering and high-tech industries often turns out to be lengthy and costly
. Good approaches are often stifled in technocratic procedures that follow the “trial-and-error principle” and are based on the experiences of causal-logical plausibilities. The search for personnel, and also the systematic recruitment of engineering experts, is often subject to irrational influences. Due to many years of experience and an excellent reputation, PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has, since its inception in 1992, enjoyed the undivided confidence of the local industries and job-seeking engineers.
Experts are absolutely essential for engineering and excellently developed industrial locations like Northwestern Switzerland, because they contribute to the economy’s added value with their highly skilled expertise. For many years, the PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has been entrusted with search requests for such high potentials. Personnel recruitment is our daily business. We fill your vacancy!

Many businesses would be struggling without any commercial expertise.
The commercial world of work has changed. Due to the unstoppable technological advancement and the strong internationalization of the commercial environment, many job descriptions have changed significantly, have been newly created or disappeared altogether. However, the attractiveness of the variety of commercial jobs remains unchanged. Without commercial experts and executives, the economy would stagnate.
Many businesses would be struggling without any commercial expertise.
The drastic, fundamental changes in the commercial world cannot be overlooked and are unstoppable. There is not one day that goes by without showing a new technological possibility to perform commercial tasks even faster, more efficiently and effectively. Productivity, effectiveness and efficiency have changed dramatically in some job descriptions. The constant increase of the dynamics of work processes has not only ‘streamlined’ organizations, but also evidently increased the pressure to be more productive and efficient. The escalating substantial flattening of organizations and hierarchies contribute to the fact that jobs with classically supporting functions like secretaries or assistants are undergoing significant changes. Managers often plan their travels themselves and make arrangements via the internet. They prepare documents themselves and do not require any further assistance. Finance and accounting systems have become very specialized as well. Due to more and more internationalized, legal regulations, more and more influential fiscal and accounting rules and other concomitants, this specialized area has become remarkably demanding and comprehensive. Human Resources Management has also been adjusted to the new requirements. It has changed drastically over the last few years and is now considered to be an independent specialty area in many companies. The days when it might have been incorporated in the IT department or bookkeeping are long gone and have made room for modern-day management needs.
The commercial world is changing constantly. Nothing remains the same. Reforms and changes also influence the commercial education system. They have clearly added to and strengthened the competencies of graduates of commercial schools.
Have commercial jobs become obsolete in the general professional world? By no means
Have commercial jobs become obsolete in the general professional world? By no means! Experts in the commercial field are absolutely essential for most companies. Over the last few years, however, the professional expectations in this occupation group have increased above average. Commercial experts still manage to meet those expectations as well as the demands of employers. The reforms of basic vocational training and the perfectly structured in-service training system, have clearly realized the demand for ‘best practice’, focusing on core competencies and continuing education. New findings, requirements and also technologies are therefore quickly incorporated into the continuing education system and immediately implemented in daily professional life by the graduates. Commercial services will continue to strongly dictate daily economic routines in the future. This occupation group possesses a stupendous ability to adjust to new demands. The personnel consultants at PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG attend to the commercial sector very intensely. No matter if personnel search, screening or selection – we know what we are talking about. Since 1992.
Experts in the commercial field are a dominant and integral part of every economy. Since 1992, PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has been specialized in searching, screening and selecting experts and High Potentials for all commercial jobs.

IT (Information Technology) is the economy’s engine. However, without the right experts, it quickly runs out of gas.
During the last few years, data processing, computer sciences, IT and business technology have undergone a turbulent development beyond comparison.
The complexity of the demands of the specialists is ever increasing. Things that once were ‘state of the art’, may be completely obsolete today. Applications and the required software, too, change very rapidly. The innovation cadence and the international competition are overwhelming. Long gone are the days of chaotic garage companies and thrown-together spaghetti programs. Since 1992, PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has successfully recruited those experts.
Ada Lovelace, an exceptionally intelligent, British mathematician
When did the computer age begin anyway? In 1614, John Napier published his famous table of logarithms and only a few years later, in 1623, Wilhelm Schickard developed the first ‘computer’, which was still fully mechanical. Johannes Kepler, the famous physicist and polymath, used the machine for his astronomic calculations. The binary system, i.e. the possibility to display every alphanumeric symbol with 1 and 0, was invented by Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. The age of enlightenment and the increasing influence of science, enabled Joseph-Marie Jacquard to invent punch cards in 1805. Those punch cards were able to control looms and boosted the economic development of the already flourishing textile industry even more. Later, Charles Babbage developed the important theoretic groundwork that became essential for the construction of the first, modern-day, mechanical computers. Ada Lovelace, an exceptionally intelligent, British mathematician, made history when she invented a method to program computers and thus wrote the first software. But it was still a long journey until the first super computer and all-purpose computer, ENIAC, in 1945. In 1938, Konrad Zuse, a brilliant German scientist, completed Z1. It was a programmable, but still mechanical computer. At that time, it was a quantum leap. The machine did not work very well, but was indispensable for the basic research of the following years. The 1950s marked the beginning of the production of commercial computers and the conquest of science and economy.
Meanwhile, the economic contribution of the IT sciences and services has become an indispensable factor. In all situations of life, we are accompanied by software and hardware. Mixers, cars, cell phones and thousands of products more cannot function without IT anymore. In addition, many other interdisciplinary domains have evolved from computer sciences: Informations Systems, Computational Linguistics, Bioinformatics, Chemoinformatics, Geoinformatics or Media Informatics. The so-called artificial intelligence (AI), too, is a large branch of computer sciences with strong influences from logic, linguistics, neurophysiology, cognitive psychology, sensor technologies and robotics. The extreme compression of highly specialized niche knowledge and half knowledge increases on a daily basis due to the almost unmanageable and further growing flood of information.
Only well trained experts, who constantly educate themselves and who can keep up with the technological developments, will have a chance on the IT employment market.
Only well trained experts, who constantly educate themselves and who can keep up with the technological developments, will have a chance on the IT employment market.
PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has successfully recruited IT specialists for many years. However, the recruitment, screening and selection of such experts go far beyond the binary world. We upgrade our knowledge in order to understand the new requirements the IT specialists have to meet. We possess the right resources and the right knowledge to find the right person as unerringly and efficiently as possible. Due to many years of experience and an outstanding reputation, PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has enjoyed the undivided confidence of local IT service providers since its inception in 1992.
During the last few years, data processing, computer sciences, IT and business technology have undergone a turbulent development beyond comparison. The complexity of the demands of the specialists is ever increasing. The competition surrounding the best and most creative minds has left the simple pecuniary level. Companies can keep the best employees only by offering excellent working conditions, strong promotion of talents, and through committed fostering and adherence to best practices that generate appreciation.

The city of Basel is Switzerland’s Number 1 when it comes to logistics, freight forwarding and supply chain management.
The Basiliensis region is Switzerland’s most important logistics region. The trinational Euro district, together with the region of TriRhena and the cities of Basel, Mulhouse (France) and Freiburg in Breisgau (Germany), has led to the development of a core logistics region.
The city of Basel is Switzerland’s Number 1 when it comes to logistics, freight forwarding and supply chain management.
Basel is the undisputed logistics and freight forwarding capital of these trans-regional service providers. PKS Personal- & Kaderselektion AG has been actively supporting this key industry from the very beginning. Our personnel consultants all have basic training and professional experience in the freight forwarding industry. The trinational Euro district offers Europe’s highest concentration of well-qualified freight forwarding and logistics experts.
The trinational Euro district of Basel and the TriRhenia region encompass the area comprising the city of Basel and the North West Switzerland region, Mulhouse (F), Colmar (F) and Freiburg (D), where around 2.5 million people live. This trans-regional hub is unique in Europe and provides important logistical parameters for some of the largest freight forwarding and logistics enterprises in the world. The central location and the confluence of rail, road and shipping routes have provided especially beneficial conditions for the freight forwarding and logistics industry. The nearby airport, the north-south axis which is heavily utilised by the international railways, the Rhine, via which a large proportion of strategically important raw materials are transported and the exceptional road network facilitate this development.
Further features of the Basel region are the undisputed high quality of its infrastructure and the availability of numerous freight forwarding specialists with the corresponding skills and training in the field of logistics. As a border location Basel also plays an important role for customs formalities. Well-trained customs declarants and competent customs authorities continue to be an important prerequisite for the smooth flow of commercial traffic over the border. A number of renowned freight forwarding and logistics companies who are also members of leading international groups have their headquarters in the Basel region. Furthermore, many medium-sized and smaller companies providing not only freight forwarding and logistics but also additional services such as warehousing, transport consultancy, etc are also based in North West Switzerland. Many companies operate their own terminals which benefit from the road, rail and waterway connections and which are often operated from the same location as the administration. Given the concentration of logistics companies in this region, it is certainly no coincidence that Basel is also the headquarters of Spedlogswiss, the association of Swiss freight forwarding and logistics companies. The rail cargo traffic with the new Euro hub in Basel-Muttenz is also a European hub of key importance for transportation along the North/South axis. It is here – directly in the Rhine harbour – that the transfer from rail to ship takes place, as well as that from road to ship.
The many internationally renowned trade shows such as Art Basel and the Watch and Jewellery Trade Show, for example, require more and more highly specialised trade show logistics experts who are able to provide services for an extremely demanding client base.

The importance of numbers remains unchanged.
They are the essential instrument for managing and controlling a business. Even the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras believed that the universe was based on the power of numbers.
Even the ancient Greek mathematician Pythagoras believed that the universe was based on the power of numbers.
Finance and accounting, controlling, bookkeeping and billing are essential instruments for managing and controlling a business. The determination of new strategies, the conquest of new markets or the acquisition of new business opportunities – they all require conclusive facts that support existentially important decisions. Only very well qualified professionals in the respective areas of expertise are able to meet those requirements. We have been finding the right specialized personnel on all levels for you since 1992.
The world’s first accounting systems were developed in 9000 B.C. in Mesopotamia. It was a long way until the development of double-entry accounting in the 13th century in Northern Italy and the sophistication of finance and accounting by the Fugger family dynasty. However, long gone are the days of traditional, dusty trading posts. Nowadays, corporate accounting, controlling, finance and accounting, bookkeeping and financial management are becoming increasingly dominant and important. Those specialty areas assume more and more advisory functions in adjacent fields and exert influence on business processes that cannot be underestimated.
Their importance is substantially increasing due to progressively legalistic and rigid international regulations and drastic national regulations.
The request of the public and of investors for transparent performance figures, the enormous cost pressure due to agile competitive markets, and the streamlining and downsizing of operational processes, tangible materials and employees call for instruments that promote the decision-making process. In situations like that, the management has to be able to rely on a well-founded base that is accurate and anticipates further corporate developments.
The importance of numbers remains unchanged.
Since 1992, we have recruited experts for the following areas:
- Controlling
- Financial Accounting
- Cost Accounting
- Business Financing
- Billing
- Taxes
- Audit

Theophrastus Paracelsus
As early as 1527 to 1528, Paracelsus, the famous physician of the city of Basel, was officially permitted to hold lectures at the Faculty of Medicine at Basel University that were well attended. Contrary to what was customary at the time, he lectured in German and not in Latin. Since then, human medicine has undergone significant changes. The Vision of the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Basel is to create a University Center for Medicine that focuses on excellent services, teaching and research.
Specialized medicine and care have become a very important economic factor in Switzerland. The Medical fields have shown above-average growth in recent years and have become very important providers of demanding jobs and highly specialized medical services that are increasingly influential in the Swiss work environment.

With an ever aging society due to demographic influences and the highest standard of medical care, the health care system and medical providers will face severe challenges in the future. As will staffing service providers, who have committed to personnel search and selection for the demanding field of Medical and Health Care. Due to the accentuated as well as forcibly growing commodification of high-quality medical care, the need to deliver as many medical services as possible for as little money as possible increases year by year, especially since the pressure by health insurance companies and their insured does not decrease. Together, academic as well as non-academic experts, managements in hospitals and health care institutions, nursing staff and para-medical sub-industries will have to face many new and challenging developments. Health economics will gain influence in the future, and, together with the medical and pharmaceutical industry will have to enter new territory in order to sustainably drive efficiencies by means of interdisciplinary research, teachings, medical treatments and care.
Thanks to this dynamic evolvement of medical providers and the high quality of basic services, Basel and Northwest Switzerland have become a regional growth leader in Switzerland. Even in the medical field. The huge investments in research and development keep growing year by year and reflect the inventive and entrepreneurial strength of this region.
