Excellence in direct approach since 2010
About Actua Select
Established headhunter based in Lausanne, Actua Select has been supporting companies throughout French-speaking Switzerland in recruiting their executives and specialists for over 15 years. Our core expertise: direct approach. We identify, approach, and select the most relevant profiles — including those not actively seeking — to precisely match your needs and environment.
Our strength lies in a simple conviction: in an increasingly digital world, human contact makes all the difference. A successful recruitment is built on relationships and fieldwork, with precision — never volume. A boutique firm with irreproachable ethics, we offer a tailored service, supported by a single dedicated contact available 100% throughout your search.
Founded by Vincent Jaquier, Actua Select cultivates a winning relationship for all stakeholders: the client company, the recruited talent, and the firm. Because a placement is only truly successful when all parties find what they're looking for.

Executives & Specialists
Direct &
confidential approach
Looking for top talent?
The most relevant profiles don't respond to job postings: they're already employed, performing well, and rarely actively looking. To reach them, there's only one way: direct approach — and that's our specialty, particularly for complex searches or rare skills. We work behind the scenes to find you the best talent, combining proven headhunting methods with the most current tools.
"No job postings. Direct approach. Success-based fee."
Our Select Package
Confidentiality
As direct approach specialists, we publish no job postings in your company's name. We protect your image with complete discretion.
Quality
Our goal is not to present just another application, but to find the rare gem. We meet each candidate individually and assess both professional skills and personality.
Availability
A single dedicated contact, at your service 100% throughout your search.
Placement
If the recruited person doesn't work out during the trial period, we restart the search at no additional charge.
Success-based fees: always
Whatever the type of mandate, our fees are only due upon success. We favor exclusive mandates, more effective and respectful of your image: one firm, one mission. However, we adapt to each situation and remain open to more traditional mandates.
