Making tech more colorful.
We’re solving two problems
We’re solving the tech talent gap in Switzerland by showcasing the most exciting career opportunities and coaching our community to build the skills needed to take those opportunities. We’re also improving diversity in tech by expanding companies’ hiring network.
Our mission.
We assess companies for culture and commitment to diversity before engaging, because we want our members to build their best careers and we want partners in building a community of tech talent, not just ad hoc recruiting requests.
Our vision.
We’ve heard too often that high-potential talent can’t get hired and companies can’t find them. We’re changing that by replacing tedious, inefficient online systems with personal introductions. Let’s make recruiting personal again.
We want you on our team! We want to grow a diverse, fun and fulfilled TechFace. team. Please get in touch if you want to make tech more colorful too.
