We are thrilled to announce that Wirz & Partners has been recognized once again as one of Switzerland's premier executive search firms by Handelszeitung and Statista. This prestigious accolade underlines our unwavering dedication to excellence and the unparalleled value we deliver to our esteemed clients.
At Wirz & Partners, we redefine the executive search experience by offering a comprehensive solution that offloads 90% of the search and selection process from our clients' organizations. By entrusting us with their executive hiring needs, clients can focus their time and resources on strategic initiatives, confident in the knowledge that our structured and meticulous process will deliver superior results.
Our proven track record speaks volumes about our ability to deliver results. We boast a remarkable success rate, concluding mandates in an average of just four months, surpassing industry standards by an impressive 50%.
Central to our success is our structured and personal search and selection process, W-SCIAF, renowned for its efficiency, precision, and ability to achieve a retention ratio three times higher than the industry average.
Our streamlined methodology allows clients to allocate their time to analyze personal and cultural fit, rather than being bogged down in administrative tasks. Unlike our competitors, we eschew traditional rolodex-based selections in favor of a data-driven approach that ensures a comprehensive market scan, leaving no stone unturned in our quest to identify the best-fit candidates. Moreover, our innovative state-of-the-art case study process provides unparalleled insights into candidates' competencies, experiences, and leadership qualities, enabling us to make informed decisions that drive long-term success for our clients.
For Switzerland's vibrant SMB sector, facing the crucial challenge of succession recruitment, Wirz & Partners stands as the preferred choice. With over 600,000 SMBs, these enterprises form the backbone of Switzerland's economy. For years, Wirz & Partners has been supporting SMBs in succession planning by understanding the culture and demands of this paramount event for the successful continuation of their businesses.
An increasing number of large clients are turning away from large international search firms in favor of us. Our clients mention the following reasons why they switch; we work as a team jointly with all stakeholders in the client, we are emotionally and personally engaged with the client, we are faster, and we deliver better performance for the money.
By choosing Wirz & Partners, clients not only gain access to unparalleled expertise and industry-leading methodologies but also optimize their executive hiring process for maximum efficiency and effectiveness. Our commitment to excellence, coupled with our ability to offload the burden from our clients' organizations, sets us apart as the premier choice for executive search in Switzerland.
As we celebrate this prestigious recognition, we extend our heartfelt thanks to our clients and candidates for their trust and partnership. Rest assured, we remain steadfast in our commitment to delivering excellence in executive search, setting new benchmarks, and exceeding expectations with every mandate we undertake.
