If you want a standard recruiting job, fixed salary, and a playbook to follow — this isn’t it.

If you want to build a book of business with real ownership, a driven team, under a credible Swiss brand — you’ll feel at home here.

🇨🇭 About Gunia Consulting

We’re a Swiss boutique (plus a very driven Dutch guy in the Nordics) focused on Recruiting and Growth & Transformation.

We run end-to-end, take accountability, and deliver — from startups to PE-backed ventures, family offices, SMEs and corporates across Europe and beyond. Not as “just recruiters” or “just consultants,” but as problem solvers.

🚀 The Opportunity

We’re expanding into new markets and looking for entrepreneurial partners to own a region, build client relationships, and run searches end-to-end with full autonomy — backed by our name, infrastructure, and tight operating rhythm.

This is not “freelance hours on the side.” It’s a partnership for people who want to build something substantial without starting from zero.

💼 What you’ll do

• Own and grow client relationships in your market (you tell us, which market you want to cover)
• Run searches end-to-end (brief → sourcing → interviews → offer)
• Engage confidently with senior stakeholders
• Create targeted outreach and sharp client proposals
• Shape our local positioning and GTM for your country
• Work directly with the founder on regional growth

🧩 What you bring

• Proven 360° recruitment experience (Professional Search or startups ideal) or strong Sales/BD background in talent/consulting services
• Network and market understanding in your target market are a plus
• Fluent English (plus regional language is a huge plus)
• Commercial drive, entrepreneurial mindset, high accountability, low ego
• Structured, reliable, motivated to build long-term

🤝 How we work together

• True partnership model: clear framework, strong revenue share (discussed individually)
• Swiss credibility: fully licensed by the Swiss authorities for worldwide recruiting
• Infra & tools: AI-driven ATS/CRM, invoicing, templates — ready on day one
• Lean & fast: direct line to the founder, no bureaucracy
• Autonomy: results over hours or location
• Upside: build and lead a regional practice

⚠️ Important

• This is partnership-based and commission-only. No base salary.
• You operate independently, share in the revenue you generate, and represent the Gunia Consulting brand as part of a small, trusted network.
• The plan is to work together long-term. Once the build up work is done, the model will be reevaluated.

Is this you?

✅ Yes, if: you’re excited to build a market, own outcomes, and be judged on delivery.

❌ No, if: you’re primarily seeking fixed comp, heavy structure, and a typical agency role.
