AI Recruiting in Switzerland: How SMEs Find Staff With AI
What AI takes over in hiring today, what it doesn't, and how heyFinn turns one open role into a job page, a Google for Jobs listing and ads on Facebook and Instagram.
Yes, there are platforms in Switzerland that help you fill a role with AI. heyFinn is one of them, built for SMEs without an HR team: you enter your website and the role, the AI Finn writes the job ad, builds a job page and prepares it for Google for Jobs. If you want, heyFinn runs ads on Facebook and Instagram in your region, from CHF 340 per job, ad budget included.

Get startedWhat is AI recruiting?
AI recruiting means software takes over hiring steps that used to take hours: writing job ads, getting roles seen, sorting applications. The options in Switzerland fall into three groups. Job boards with AI: you post on a job board, and the AI helps with the text or suggests profiles from the board. You mostly reach people who are actively looking. Applicant tracking with AI: the software sorts the applications you already have. It doesn't bring in more. Campaign platforms with AI: one role becomes a full campaign with a job page, a Google for Jobs listing and ads on social media. That way you also reach good people who aren't looking right now. heyFinn belongs to this group.
What the AI does at heyFinn
- Job ad: Finn writes it from your website and the job description, as text, PDF or link.
- Branding: Finn takes your logo, colours and images from your website.
- Job page: a mobile job ad with an application form, free.
- Google for Jobs: the role is prepared for Google's job search; free jobs for up to 120 days after publishing.
- Ads: Finn creates the ads and runs them on Facebook and Instagram in your region plus 20 km, through heyFinn's ad accounts.
- Screening: 5 yes/no questions you can edit, plus questions for applicants without a CV.
- Sorting: Finn compares applications with your requirements and shows which ones fit well.
What the AI doesn't do
You always make the decision. heyFinn doesn't suggest people from a talent pool, doesn't run interviews and doesn't hire anyone. You decide whether a question rules someone out, not the AI. And how many applications come in depends on the role, the region and the ad; there is no guarantee.

Tip: You don't need a finished job ad. A job description as text, PDF or link is enough: Finn turns it into a draft that you check and edit.
What to check before you start
Before you pick a platform, ask five questions: is the ad budget included in the price? Can you edit the job page, the text and the questions yourself? Do you need your own ad accounts? Which numbers do you see per job? And do you pay per job, per click or by commission? With heyFinn, the ad budget is included, you edit the text, images and questions yourself, and the ads run through heyFinn's ad accounts. For each job you see views, clicks and applications, and you pay a fixed price. All plans are on the pricing page.
