The posting

Who we are

TalentCloud Group is a Swiss-founded recruitment partner working with growth-focused companies across Switzerland and internationally.

We've built our reputation placing high-quality permanent talent in IT and commercial functions, but we're now expanding into contract / interim hiring, where speed, trust, and real problem-solving matter more than process.

This is where you come in.

No prior recruitment or sales experience required.

The role (what makes this different)

This is not a sit back and follow a script sales role.

You'll learn how to operate in two very different worlds:

  • HR / Talent teams structured, process-driven, expect polished communication
  • Line managers under pressure, need solutions now, respond to authenticity and insight

Your job is to become a sales chameleon - knowing how to read the room, adapt your approach, and uncover what's really going on beneath the surface.

In contract recruitment, you're not selling CVs. You're solving urgent, real-world problems

What you'll be doing

  • Reaching out to companies and starting conversations (phone, LinkedIn, email)
  • Learning how to speak differently to HR vs. line managers
  • Identifying real hiring needs (burning platform situations)
  • Supporting delivery of both permanent and contract recruitment projects
  • Building relationships with clients over time — not just one-off transactions
  • Working closely with the TalentCloud team to learn the craft properly
  • Gradually owning your own clients and revenue

Who this is for

We are not looking for a finished product. We are deliberately looking for someone early in their career — or even at the very start.

Someone who:

  • Is curious, coachable, and willing to give it a go
  • Communicates confidently in German and English
  • Is comfortable picking up the phone and speaking to new people
  • Wants to learn how business actually works (not just theory)
  • Is motivated by progress, not perfection
  • Enjoys being part of a small, growing team where they can make an impact

In fact — we prefer you don't have it.

We value the innocence of inexperience: people who are open, adaptable, and not stuck in old habits.

What you'll learn

  • How to build real client relationships (not just sell)
  • How hiring decisions are actually made inside companies
  • How to identify commercial opportunities early
  • How to operate in both Swiss and international markets
  • How to develop into a full 360° recruiter or business developer

There is also longer-term potential to move into international hiring, including exposure to the US market.

What we offer

  • Hands-on training in both sales and recruitment
  • A direct learning environment — close to the founders and decision-makers
  • Fast progression based on performance (not tenure)
  • A supportive but high-expectation culture
  • Competitive base salary + commission
  • Real responsibility early on

Why join now

We're at a point where the business is evolving, and you'll be part of building the next phase, not just maintaining the current one. If you want a safe, structured corporate role, this probably isn't it.

If you want to learn fast, take ownership early, and build real commercial skills, it might be exactly right.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
