Recruiter

I've been looking for a new opportunity since January with no luck. I am currently employed as a Senior Tech Recruiter in a Startup but I've worked for Amazon, Uber and Hays. Despite applying to over 200 companies, I have only received 3 interview invitations. I know the job market here can be tough for expats, but I'm starting to think that maybe I need to change my strategy or seek a second opinion. I am based in Zürich and I would love to find someone to help me with my CV.

    What makes a high-performing team so successful? Being motivated by the same goal. That seems obvious, doesn’t it? But, in reality, ensuring each team member has their eyes on the same prize is deceptively difficult to achieve in the world of work: https://social.hays.com/2020/03/02/we-thinking-key-to-effective-teamwork/
