This is how takeoff makes recruitment stress-free for your practice

Your practice is growing, the number of patients is increasing, and your team should actually expand. But recruiting new physical therapists? That costs time, money and energy that you'd rather put into your patients. Recognisable? We understand that, and that's why takeoff has developed an approach that not only makes the recruitment process effective, but also carefree for you as a practice owner.

The challenge: finding talent in a tight market

Swiss healthcare is known for its quality, but faces a growing shortage of healthcare professionals. For physiotherapy practices, this means:

• Longer waiting times for patients
• Higher workload for the existing team
• Limited opportunities to grow your practice
• Time-consuming and often frustrating recruitment processes

‍

Finding physical therapists who are not only skilled but also fit your practice culture is becoming increasingly challenging. And that's not to mention the red tape involved in hiring international therapists.

‍

The takeoff method: simple and effective

Just like you give the best to your patients every day, we are fully committed to your practice. We bring the same care and personal attention to the recruitment process that you put into your treatments. That's why we've developed a method that is not only structured, but also sincere and human:

‍

1. We know your needs

We'll start with an extensive discussion about your practice. We want to know everything: from your specializations and working methods to your team culture and plans for the future. This way, we can find therapists who not only have the right skills, but who really match what makes your practice unique.

‍

2. Access to motivated physical therapists

Thanks to our presence across Europe - and our focus on countries where we know and are known to have a high level of education, comparable to the Swiss course or even higher - we have a constant current from qualified, adventurous physical therapists who are ready to work in Switzerland. Not only are they skilled, but they have also consciously chosen to take an international career step — which provides extra motivation and commitment.

‍

3. Full screening and preparation

Each candidate is thoroughly screened for professional competence, language proficiency and cultural fit. Even before they apply to you, we ensure that their paperwork, such as preparing for the SRK recognition, is alright. This way, you can be sure that you only spend time with serious, qualified candidates who can start working immediately after obtaining their Teilentscheid.

‍

4. Guidance throughout the process

We not only guide the therapist, but also you as a practitioner. From scheduling interviews to checking contracts, we take work off your hands where possible, so you can focus on your patients and practice.

‍

What makes takeoff different?

Unlike traditional recruitment agencies, we understand the physiotherapy industry from the inside out. takeoff was founded by physiotherapists who made the switch to Switzerland themselves. We know the challenges, both for therapists and practices, and have developed a process that works for both parties.

For your practice, this means:

• No unnecessary loss of time — You will only see candidates who have already been screened for qualifications and availability
• Higher success rate — Our therapists are fully prepared for work in Switzerland and have already studied the Swiss healthcare system
• Long-term matches — We focus on the big picture, not just work, but also living and living, so therapists stay longer
• Simple and transparent — No surprises or hidden costs; we keep the process clear and open.

‍

How does it work in practice?

‍

1. Introduction & intake

We'll get to know your practice and discuss the profiles you're looking for. No standard questionnaires, but a real conversation about what makes your practice unique.

‍

2. The perfect match

We carefully select candidates that suit your needs, both professionally and personally, and introduce them to you.

‍

3. Job interview & decision

We plan an (online) introduction and assist you throughout the selection process. This way, you can easily find the ideal addition for your team.

‍

4. Onboarding & guidance

Even after signing the contract, we remain involved. We help with the relocation from the new therapist, so that he or she can quickly be productive in your practice.

‍

5. Warranty

We really believe in our matches. You can assume that takeoff therapists will stay with you for several years. Will they leave within a year anyway? Then you get half of your investment back.

‍

More than recruitment

At takeoff, we believe that successful recruitment goes beyond just finding a candidate. That's why we offer more:

• Community building — New therapists immediately become part of our network, which ensures a soft landing and faster integration
• Ongoing support — We remain available, even long after the therapist has started
• Regular check-ins — We keep in touch with both the therapist and the practice to make sure everything runs smoothly
