Looking for a job in Switzerland? These 10 Swiss tech startups are hiring right now

The coronavirus pandemic has had a devastating impact on the Swiss job market, cutting available jobs in all industries and in all regions. Overall, there has been a 27% decrease in available job ads from the first quarter of 2020 to the second. 

This is reportedly the most significant slump in Swiss job figures in recent years. Some experts are even suggesting that it’s worse than the slump witnessed during the global financial crisis of 2008. 

However, all is not lost. Even amid this pandemic, several startups are still hiring. We have, therefore, compiled a list of 10 Swiss-based startups that have recently raised funds and are hiring in the region.
