Search, RPO & advisory fully integrated in one engagement
One labor market, various problems. Lionstep solves all of them.
Organizations face the same market from opposite sides: volume overload for operational roles, Fachkräftemangel for specialists and leaders. With AI transformation making both harder to navigate.
The challenges we solve:
Expert & leadership roles sourcing: The right candidates aren't looking. Our Executive Search and Active Sourcing reach them through deep network exploration and precision market matching.
High-volume hiring: Hundreds of applications, a handful of real fits. Our RPO and automated screening qualify the right candidates fast, so none get lost in the pile.
AI & technology transformation: Most organizations know change is coming but not how to set up for it. Our Organizational Consulting and Workforce Analytics build the roadmap and the capability to get there.
Senior expertise. The Lionstep partnership built to move with you.
We are not a staffing agency, and we are not a software vendor - and we are not a legacy advisory firm running a model built for a market that no longer exists. We are a Swiss partner, built for how talent acquisition actually works today.
How?
Senior-level market expertise: Specialists who advise, not just execute

A trend-anticipating mindset: AI-driven workforce planning, skills-based design
A frictionless way of working together: One point of contact, full transparency
Advising over 1000 organizations: From ambitious scale-ups to established market leaders
