Where the demand is
No public source ranks the most sought-after executive roles in Switzerland. Here is what the available Swiss and European sources say, with their scope and date.
2.3%
job vacancy rate in the euro area in Q1 2026 (2.4% a year earlier); 2.1% in the EU.
3.4%
job vacancy rate in Belgium in Q1 2026, against 2.7% in Germany and 0.9% in Spain: tension varies widely from one country to another.
−0.2%
job postings in Switzerland year over year (Q2 2026). Trailing year: healthcare +17%, industry +12%, IT +6%; declining: sales roles −13%, economics & management −10%.
4 / 32
occupational categories in shortage in Switzerland (healthcare, site managers, engineering technicians, electricians); 2025 index down 22%. Surplus of applications in administration, IT and finance.
Demand for executives is split across tech, engineering and sales; the Swiss market is rather flat and shortages sit mostly outside leadership functions.
