Employers

SWITCH is a regional initiative created from the vision that the Brainport Eindhoven region has a strong demand for additional highly skilled technical personnel (without continuously exchanging personnel within the region). We have the goal to offer clients a solution for the shortage in technical personnel.

SWITCH can help you in sourcing qualified employees with an IT, Electrotechnical and Mechanical background. We do this by attracting highly skilled foreign employees with multiple years of experience. We have our own international network and branch offices in Europe. We strongly believe in approaching candidates with local market knowledge.

The SWITCH team consists of professionals with extensive experience, both in technical (High Tech & IT) and global recruitment areas. They operate from a stable organisation with fixed contacts.
