Tom Parker

Tom Parker is a recruitment consultancy based in Baden, Switzerland. It recruits specialists and managers in supply chain and purchasing, engineering, sales and project management. It says it originally specialised in the industrial sector and now supports clients from all sectors.

For employers, the company offers individual searches for specialist and management staff, executive search and recruitment process outsourcing (RPO) solutions. Its process starts with a briefing and needs analysis, followed by sourcing through active sourcing, a talent pool and job adverts. Pre-selection uses interviews and assessments, and the client then meets two to three candidates. It can also take over single steps, such as organising candidate interviews. For professionals, it places people in purchasing roles through its talent pool and says it continues to support them after they start a new job.

Ralf Schneider is named as founder and managing director. The company reports more than 237 clients and says it has the largest network of professionals in these fields in Switzerland.
