Methodology. Aggregated listings come from 80+ crawlers tracking the main Swiss employer ATS (Workday, Smartrecruiters, proprietary trackers) and cantonal job centres. Every listing passes a deduplication check on normalised title, company and municipality before publication; the displayed date is the original publication date — not the crawl timestamp — so you can judge the freshness.

Eligibility requires qualifying cross-border employment in Ticino, Graubünden or Valais between 31 December 2018 and 17 July 2023 and the applicable conditions, including residence in a border-zone municipality and return home in principle daily.
