Approach Cyber secures cantonal and federal staffing authorisations in Switzerland
Approach Cyber is pleased to announce a significant milestone for its Swiss branch: the acquisition of both cantonal and federal accreditations to provide staffing services to companies, in accordance with the Swiss Federal Law on Employment Services and the Hiring of Services (LSE).
Understanding the Swiss staffing framework
Overall legal framework
Companies that offer staffing services in Switzerland must comply with strict regulations to ensure legal and ethical employment practices. The Federal Law on Employment Services and the Hiring of Services (LSE) establishes a framework that fosters trust between employees, staffing agencies, and client companies.
This regulation ensures that:
-
Employees receive fair contracts, social security benefits, and legal protections
-
Client companies benefit from qualified talent and regulatory compliance
-
Staffing agencies meet high ethical and operational standards
Two levels of authorisation
To operate as a staffing provider, a company must obtain:
-
Cantonal authorisation, allowing staffing services within a specific region
-
Federal authorisation (SECO), enabling recruitment both within Switzerland and across Europe
With both cantonal and federal authorisations, Approach Cyber is fully accredited to support businesses in sourcing top-tier cyber security talent while ensuring compliance with Swiss labour laws.
A strategic approach to cyber security staffing
Approach Cyber is a pure-play cyber security and data protection company, focused on delivering cyber serenity to the community. While we provide advisory, consulting, security assessments, penetration testing and awareness programmes, some clients require long-term expertise embedded within their teams.
This is where our staffing services offer a strategic advantage:
-
Access to specialised cyber security talent for extended assignments
-
Seamless integration of experts into client teams to ensure project continuity
-
Full compliance with Swiss labour and social security regulations
Our expertise in cyber security and data protection allows us to precisely meet our clients’ needs in recruitment, personnel placement, consulting and talent management. We understand the unique challenges of geographical and cultural specificities, both in Switzerland and internationally.
