English Recruiting has been shown to be a very important factor of a company’s development and success, it also been highlighted to be a key source of competitive power and key component to build a winning team. Researches state that many young ventures have difficulty to recruit properly. Following a combination of weak recruitment capabilities with limited access to the right talents, the specialists state that there is a need to improve the hiring process. Whereas many studies try to find the cause of those problems and many recruitment frameworks already exist, there is very few information about how those two components could merge in order to propose a viable solution for Startups. Whereas startups have really particular needs and challenges compared to already established and stable companies, the recruitment phase do not differ from that. Startups and young ventures have experienced difficulties to recruit new employees (especially when it comes to recruit fast and effectively) as well as evaluating the recruitment outcome afterwards). Actually, recruiting talents has been highlighted as the principal barrier for Startup’s development. Studies show that a general lack of HR competence, poor analytics , weak notoriety , lack of network and underdeveloped connection to find suitable recruits , between other factors, are all negatively impacting the success of a startup’s development phase. In fact, existing guidelines and general best practices may not be adapted or versatile enough to meet startup’s particular requirements. Also, many of those researches are conducted abroad and may not reflect with precision the Swiss market’s challenges nor startup’s environment specificities. Then the research question addressed as follow : How to optimize the Talent Acquisition Strategy and Recruitment Process in Swiss startups and young ventures to build a winning team Firstly, the goal is to understand the recruitment challenges that Swiss startups are facing and analyse candidates’ behaviour in order to identify gaps, correlations and most importantly improvement opportunities so that Swiss startups have been provided with a flexible and easily-implementable detailed Recruitment Process, tailor- made for their needs in order to optimize their recruiting capabilities. Improvement in resources’ efficiency (time and budget) is to be expected.
