Located in the heart of Zurich, Switzerland, Helvetia Interview Excellence GmbH is a leading provider of specialized interview training and HR consulting services. We are dedicated to equipping companies and individuals with the skills and strategies needed to conduct effective, fair, and successful interviews. Our mission is to elevate interview performance, build exceptional teams, and contribute to your organizational growth through proven methodologies.

Established by experts with decades of combined experience in human resources, organizational psychology, and business strategy, our firm was founded with the vision of addressing the critical gap in effective interview practices. We recognized that while companies invest heavily in recruitment, the core interaction – the interview – often lacks structure, objectivity, and legal compliance. This insight fuels our commitment to developing cutting-edge training programs and consulting services that are not only theoretically sound but also intensely practical and immediately applicable. We pride ourselves on our research-backed approach, staying abreast of the latest developments in behavioral science, talent assessment, and legal regulations to ensure our clients receive the most current and effective guidance available. Our values centre around partnership, innovation, and delivering measurable value, ensuring that our work directly translates into improved hiring outcomes for every organization we serve.
