IT & telecoms recruiter Darwin Recruitment has opened a new office in Zurich, Switzerland.

The company has been serving the Swiss market from the UK for 12 years.

Chief executive and joint founder of Darwin, Paul Kirby, says: “Switzerland is not only a lucrative market for us but a great place to live for our candidates, with fewer restrictions compared to other places. We believe that we have much to offer Swiss businesses from our European networks and local presence.”

The company says it plans to have a presence in its eight core territories within the next three years – it already has a Netherlands office in addition to its Essex headquarters.
