The holiday season reminds us of the importance of trust and reliability – not just in daily life, but also in how we work together. With our special “Santa Claus” performance, we want to share a clear message: At gloor&lang, you don’t buy a pig in a poke (or a cat in the bag)!
Did you know that 65% of chemists in Switzerland were trained abroad? This means that chemists are being imported even more than doctors. They are followed by physicists, mathematicians, statisticians and biologists (m/f).
The 2024 Nobel Prize in Economics shows that trust is the cornerstone of success! My bold thesis: Doesn't the principle for successful economies also apply to successful companies?
Well, if Denise didn't really want to use her hiking boots, we would have waited. But it would have been winter by then....Pictures from our Pilatus trip with dragons, gardens of rocks, talking birds and lost paths.......
Lots of applications but not the right one? Your job advert is running at full speed, but the position remains vacant?
Optimists always sit in the driving seat. We all like to be infected by the zest for action and the courage to take new paths. Go ahead!
Reinforcement for our Life Science Specialty recruitment team.
What exactly is it like with this Generation Z? The media columns are filling up, the baby boomers are getting upset, the employers are rolling their eyes, young work force demands for more and more.
We're looking for the five-legged sheep of employees,’ my customers say. ‘At least you're honest,’ I reply, and we laugh. Everyone is looking for colourful eggs at Easter. But here at gloor & lang, we look for eggs all year round! As colourful and special as possible!

Industry cult! This buzzword just caught our eye in the highly regarded study by HR Today and von Rundstedt. Because it is so relevant to our life science industry.
Your staff, the most important resource! People with talents, skills and experience, professional goals and motivation. Your company wants to attract talented people and get them excited for your common goals. A classic procurement process: What can AI contribute here?
Energy crisis, inflation and recession in 2023. Since autumn 2022, threatening scenarios have kept the economy in suspense. Large-scale job cuts at the tech giants in the USA, shaky stock prices, uncertainty in planning for the current year 2023.
The demand for active sourcing services for specialists will remain at a high level in 2022. But when you finally identify those people for whom you’ve been searching, they jump away or slip through your fingers. Does that sound familiar to you?
gloor&lang Quarterly report 2022 : Time for a Recruiting update!
It sounds absurd: On the one hand, the Swiss market is desperately looking for skilled workers. On the other hand, well-qualified specialists and managers often apply for jobs for months without success.
Those who recognise the problem, and draw the right conclusions, reduce their economic risk.
The rapid recovery comes almost unexpectedly, and massive pent-up demand with it. Life-science professionals who were already in demand are becoming a scarce commodity. With the success of pharma and biotech, capacities are being built-up and expanded.
Finally! The bars are open again. Even as a teenager, I liked to stand behind the bar rather than in front of it. I also liked standing in the lab as a chemist. Mixing, shaking, trying - until it fits! There are more parallels than you would think between my childhood dream of owning a cocktail bar and my agency in life science recruiting.
Identify potentials and talents: three useful milestones for efficient decision making “How do you determine whether a candidate has the required leadership skills”, asked a client during a briefing. Which I answered with a question: “Who has to be leaded where?” The key aspect being: what type of manager do you need and for which tasks? Which goals does the company wish to achieve in the mid-term?
I watch the media discussions on the effectiveness of the new vaccine candidate with incredulous astonishment. Vaccinations started more or less quickly in various countries.
Who is available where, and at what price? These questions crop up a lot for you and for us. That is why gloorlang AG optimised a system last year that has the answers faster, better and cheaper than ever before.
The home office is with us again and still here! It is all the rage: in job interviews, candidates increasingly ask for or insist on this information - while many HR managers are reluctant to answer. I have noticed that this desire on the part of the employees is becoming a crucial new question in recruitment.
Focus on Life Science professional and managerial staff Economic slump and uncertain prospects on the one hand - new recruiting needs and strategies on the other. Times are changing but what stays the same is the "War of Talents". In fact, it has increased. Since June 2020, gloorlang has experienced increased demand for local available candidates with know-how in specific qualification areas of the pharmaceutical and life science industry. Swiss medium-sized companies are often themselves suppliers of an international clientele, able to gain new customers with Top Technologies and agile customer service approach. In this fight for the best talent gloor&lang acts as your explorer and back-up! As specialised recruiters & head-hunters, we react tactically smart to your current needs.
Support of foresighted clients: The coronavirus pandemic did not prevent us from being entrusted with various search mandates. We were indeed surprised at first, but quickly realised that this was the result of our clients’ farsightedness, confidence and ability to dare.
"We are looking for a Head Quality", says the customer on the phone. He sends us the job description, asks for an offer, and expects to receive the first suitable profiles in the same move.
«Temp staffing», «Contractor», «fix-term contract»: these are the new key trend terms in the ads published on job search sites. Learn here about the risks and opportunities of these new work models!
We highly value authenticity, credibility, effectiveness and discretion
Life Science Recruiting is like set theory: the tricky search for the perfect overlap is a thrilling exercise. Mathematical understanding can be useful – there is however another decisive factor: the knowledge of human nature.
Life Science Professionals can be odd sometimes. The current 'selfie‘ culture requires, however, a positive self-exposition. Yet it impairs the perception of the candidates‘ key quality: their true abilities.
Who actually bears «guilt» for the lack of Life-Science staff? Basically: we all do. The problem has many reasons but it can simply be remedied by bringing a committed employment agency in.
