HR solutions for the watch industry |

Our specialist HR advisors support the watch industry by supplying meticulously selected experts. |
||
If time is a luxury, our recruiters will satisfy your personal needs quickly and based on a wealth of industry expertise as they know exactly which contemporary skills are currently in demand in this traditional Swiss sector. Just like in many other industries, digital manufacturing methods and state-of-the-art production tools now form an integral part of watchmaking and highly specialised experts with an advanced level of training are more sought-after than ever. Notable Swiss watch manufacturers have faith in our ability to shortlist candidates – and with good reason, as Manpower has captained the industry for more than 60 years and has been there to see through every transformation with experienced staff. Candidates’ skilled craftsmanship, time management and ability to interpret and implement complex plans are put under the microscope as part of a test. If a contract is concluded, Manpower offers its employees the opportunity to complete all further training courses that are important in the watch industry. We keep this expertise on hand for you in our pool of watch specialists from the areas around Schaffhausen, Geneva and Biel/Bienne – renowned areas in this industry.

Changes due to Covid-19
The coronavirus pandemic has had a significant impact on the luxury branch – and with it the watch industry. It has suffered a sharp decline in orders in recent months. Even though the worst seems to have been overcome and averted, long-term forecasts on the development of the economy and purchasing power are near to impossible and the sales markets for luxury goods worldwide have been hit too hard. HR planning is also suffering at the hands of the coronavirus. Flexible HR solutions secure watchmakers’ ability to act and reduce the risk of incurring high staffing costs in economically uncertain times.
