What it means
- Most job descriptions don't say. 89% are silent about visas. Silence isn't a no: ask the recruiter before you spend an evening on the application.
- Some rule it out in writing. 2 say they can't sponsor or want an existing right to work. If you'd need a visa, skip those and save the effort.
- German is a filter. 6% ask for it. See the English-only ones.
What to put on your CV for Switzerland
- Your right to work, near the top. “EU citizen, no visa needed” if that's you; otherwise the permit you'd apply for, for example “Eligible for the Swiss work permit (L or B)”. Check that it applies to you.
- Where you are and when you can move. “Based in Bengaluru · relocating to Switzerland, available from March.”
- Your phone with its country code, such as +91 or +34.
- Languages with levels: “English (C1), German (B1)”.

The visa, relocation and language figures come from each job description's own wording; nothing here is verified with the employer, and a job description that says nothing may still sponsor. The board covers the companies it reads, not every employer in Switzerland.
