Job postings in Switzerland: what employers are hiring for (2026)
This page reads every active posting located in Switzerland across the ten boards JobsPipe collects and reports the mix as shares: the functions employers are hiring for, the seniority they target, the remote and pay-disclosure rates, and the industries and company sizes behind the postings.
6.5% of these postings are marked remote, 0.7% state a salary or range, the most common seniority label is senior at 16.8%. Postings with no seniority label are counted in the denominator, so the seniority shares do not sum to one.
Who the postings are aimed at
Seniority is read from the posting’s own label where one exists. Postings without a label stay in the denominator, so these shares describe how often each level is stated, not the full mix.

FAQ
What share of job postings in Switzerland are remote?+

How many job postings in Switzerland disclose salary?+
0.7% state a salary or a range in the posting text or structured fields. Disclosure varies more by board and by jurisdiction than by role, so compare the figure with the board-level shares on the sources pages before reading it as a market signal.
