Recruitment Shapes Innovation. Let’s Shape It Together.

Following the highly positive response to our first Life Sciences Recruitment Night in Basel, we’re continuing the conversation in 2026 — bringing together HR leaders, Talent Acquisition, hiring managers and experienced professionals to advance how recruitment supports innovation, trust and performance.

Room full of people working together on a topic using post it notes.

Building on Strong Foundations.

Our previous participants valued:

  • Honest discussion about what works well — and where experiences can be strengthened
  • A World Café format that gave equal voice to HR/TA, candidates and hiring managers
  • The shared conclusion that small, consistent improvements in communication and transparency can significantly narrow the experience gap

Our first Life Sciences Recruitment Night built on findings from our Candidate Experience Survey, exploring how candidates experience today’s hiring processes — and the impact this has on employer brand, performance and mental health.

These next sessions will build on shared insights — and turn them into practical action.

What these evenings offer

  • A 360° dialogue across HR/TA, business leaders and candidates
  • Structured exchange built on real survey insights
  • Practical improvements that strengthen trust and transparency
  • Opportunity to co-shape future Recruitment Nights across Switzerland

What we are advancing in 2026

  • Deepen the dialogue between HR and business
  • Share examples of improvements already implemented
  • Identify practical steps organisations can test immediately
  • Strengthen collaboration across Basel, Zürich, Zug and Romandie

Who this is for

  • HR and Talent Acquisition leaders

  • Business and hiring leaders in Life Sciences

  • Recruitment specialists

  • Life Science professionals interested in strengthening the hiring experience

Why this matters

Switzerland is a global leader in Life Sciences innovation. By strengthening how we attract, engage and support talent, we reinforce the foundations that make that leadership possible.

This is not about perfection. It’s about progress. Be Part of the 2026 Conversation!

Places are intentionally limited to maintain meaningful dialogue and exchange.

To provide deeper context for the discussions, we compiled the survey findings and key themes into a whitepaper entitled: Closing the Candidate Experience Gap in Life Science Hiring’.
