Swiss French candidate file template (dossier candidat)
A cabinet de recrutement or chasseur de têtes in French-speaking Switzerland presents a candidate to its client (the mandant) with a dossier candidat next to the CV. This Word template is written in Swiss French. It opens with the position, mandant, consultant and date, then the candidate's name and current role. The key facts show what a Swiss client asks first: residence, nationality, work permit (B, C, G cross-border, L or Swiss citizen), notice period, current salary and expectations in CHF with 13th salary and bonus, taux d'activité and availability, each only as stated. Then come the consultant's assessment, strengths for the role, motivation to move, points to clarify, career, education and languages. Formatix writes it from the CV and your interview notes.
The work permit and nationality appear only as the candidate stated them. Formatix never derives a permit from nationality, residence or languages, and never works out a start date from the notice period. Motivation and points to clarify come only from your notes.
10 free credits, no card needed. One credit fills one document.
For recruitment and search firms. Formatix formats your candidates' CVs into your firm's template; it is not a tool for writing your own CV.
