Blackbird Talent Solutions, Finance and Accounting recruitment, boutique recruitment firm Zurich Switzerland

Finance & Accounting recruitment. With a human touch.

The right hire changes everything. For the company and for the person.

We are a SECO-licensed boutique based in Zurich, specialising in Finance & Accounting recruitment across Switzerland and Europe. We take fewer mandates than most firms, which means we go deeper on each one. More than 90% of the candidates we place are still in their roles after one year.

From Controller to CFO, we go deep.

We go beyond the CV.

Finding the right person means understanding more than skills and experience. We look for people who will genuinely thrive in your team and stay.

Every candidate we present has been properly assessed, not just sourced, which is why our placements stay. We also offer scientifically validated assessments for well informed decision making.

What our clients say

"Working with Evelyn is a real pleasure. She quickly grasped exactly what I was looking for when building my team. I always felt listened to and understood, which made the whole process smooth and efficient. Even in more difficult situations I could always rely on her and received the needed support. I was consistently happy with her work and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a recruiter who truly gets it."

"I have had the pleasure of working with Evelyn on two successful Treasury recruitment mandates over the past few years, both of which resulted in outstanding hires who are excelling in their roles. Evelyn has deep knowledge of the Swiss job market, particularly within Finance and Treasury. Her ability to identify and attract high-calibre talent is matched by her rigorous approach to candidate assessment. She provides candid, well-informed views that enable hiring managers to make confident and well-grounded decisions. What truly sets Evelyn apart is her commitment to serving the interests of both employer and candidate."

"Evelyn and Peter really stand out for their refreshingly human approach. They take the needed time and care to assess values, cultural fit, personal and professional goals of the candidate and how these match the long-term organisational goals of the client to ensure a long-term successful placement for both parties."

"Peter is a passionate people oriented professional. He goes far beyond job description and talent profile, understanding how soft skills and personality match company culture, creating a long lasting bond. I recommend his advice any time."
