More and more individuals and families with large assets are turning to the highly professional services of family offices - also in Switzerland. In Switzerland, 23 of the 750 largest family offices in the world are based here.

These include both institutions of well-known Swiss corporations and companies with foreign roots. Whether single family office or multi family office - their tasks are varied. Their responsibilities range from strategic matters such as tax planning and wealth management to governance activities such as legal advice and family governance, as well as real estate and risk management.

Due to the diversity of their field of activity, family offices need specialists in a wide range of areas. In particular, specialist skills are in demand, including in asset management/portfolio management, analysis/controlling, legal advice, classic secretarial services such as office organisation and travel planning, and security management. In addition, due to the complexity and capital intensity of the industry, the specialists must have special personal qualities. These include a pronounced willingness to provide services and discretion as well as excellent communication and cooperation skills. Last but not least, family offices also differ in culture and mindset: a high level of emotional intelligence, sovereignty with regard to social manners, as well as authenticity and transparency are therefore essential requirements.

Anyone who wants to find and win over such talents needs experienced recruiting specialists with access to a largely hidden market who can design highly individual search strategies and successfully implement application processes.
