Provider of flexible consultants Ignata launches in Switzerland
Ignata, a UK-based provider of consulting and recruitment services, has opened shop in Switzerland.
Formed in 2011, Ignata has grown into one of UK’s leading recruitment agencies for talent across several sectors, including education, fashion, life sciences, manufacturing, retail, fast moving consumer goods and industry. The London-headquartered firm also has an arm that provides flexible consultancy and project management services, comprising independent consultants and interim managers.
Speaking of the firm’s consulting offering, Ignata Managing Director Ross Robinson said, “Working collaboratively with clients and our inhouse talent team, we create beautifully engineered on-demand teams, giving business leaders access to a new source of talent, who are both aligned exactly to the challenge at hand and who are capable of delivering impact fast.”Already operating with three offices in the DACH region (Munich, Frankfurt and Berlin), Ignata has now stepped up its expansion plans for the German-speaking region with a new office in Geneva, to support clients in the Swiss marketplace.
Peter Knowles, a Director at Ignata stated; “Ignata Switzerland is an important step forward in our drive to internationalise the business and extend our offering to a global client base. Our ability to source freelance professional-services talent from across Europe is proving hugely appealing for a rapidly growing number of Swiss clients, and we are delighted to be forging closer partnerships with them.”
The Swiss arm will provide recruitment and consultancy services to companies across the country, with a focus on experts in commercial, sales & marketing, finance and technology roles.
Hot on the heels of the Swiss expansion, next up is the United States, said Robinson. “Our first US branch is likely to open within the next twelve months.”
